The thin Tuscan flatbread, baked on a stone oven, split and stuffed-to-order with porchetta, salumi, pecorino, artichoke cream or truffle: the canonical Florentine lunch since the 1990s.
Schiacciata as a flatbread dates to Roman Etruria; the word means 'squashed', from the dimples pressed into the dough before baking. Stuffed schiacciata as a stand-up street sandwich became Florence's grammar after All'Antico Vinaio's 2010 expansion turned the format into a daily queue on Via dei Neri. The schiacciata fiorentina is the version eaten as bread; schiacciata alla fiorentina is a separate dessert, a sweet sheet cake covered with cocoa powder eaten during Carnevale.
