Tomato and Onion Flatbread

WHEN women of the islands fire the oven to bake the week’s bread, they also prepare flatbreads, topping them with cheese or seasonal vegetables and herbs and drizzling them with olive oil. More like focaccia than pizza, these breads are found everywhere, in many variations. Ladenia is the flatbread baked on Kimolos, and it is topped with onion and tomatoes.

On other islands, in the winter, people often top these flatbreads with pancetta-like cured pork or with chopped sausage
