Sicilian bread is heavier than elsewhere because it is made with durum wheat. Guastedde is a special bread roll, which is eaten with a variety of fillings, but famously with milza (fried spleen) - sold in the Vucceria market in Palermo. In Enna, there is a very pleasant and unusual focaccia, which is filled with salami. Hard and dry biscuits are made all over Sicily, for dipping into a sweet dessert wine, such as Moscato or Marsala. They include mustazzoli (or mostacciolo elsewhere) and tarallo (also taralluccio or tarallino).
