  • About

A brightly spiced and herbed French-style bread (it contains no oil, milk, or sweeteners), especially good when served with seafood or pasta dishes. Oreganato is seasoned with cracked black peppercorns, garlic, parsley and oregano and it sparkles with the golden glint of polenta nuggets. It is important to use polenta, which is coarse, rather than cornmeal, which is fine, because polenta retains its identity in the loaf.
