The michetta is Milan's signature daily bread: a hollow rosette-shaped roll with crisp shell and almost no crumb, baked every morning for sandwich filling and the city's most landmark counter bread.
The michetta took shape in late-18th-century Habsburg Lombardy as a Milanese adaptation of the Austrian Kaisersemmel rosette, codified by the 1800s into the hollow-bodied form distinct from the Viennese ancestor. The five-pointed rosette score on top, the steam-fed oven and the high-hydration starter dough produce the canonical paper-thin crust and the almost-empty interior. The bread is sold by weight at every Milan forno and is the city's default sandwich vehicle. Davide Longoni, Princi and the Mercato Comunale Wagner bakers all bake canonical michette; supermarket versions exist but lack the wood-oven shell.
