PasticciottoSmall oval tart from Puglia with tender shortcrust pastry baked around a thick vanilla or lemon custard, sometimes paired with black cherries.
Zeppole di San GiuseppeChoux pastry rings fried or baked, filled with pastry cream and topped with an amarena cherry; traditionally made for St. Joseph's Day in March.
Cream Puff (Bignè)Light, airy choux shells split and filled with vanilla or chocolate cream, dusted with powdered sugar or glazed on top.

Cookies

Anise BiscottiFirm, lightly sweet twice-baked cookies flavored with anise seed, offering a licorice note and a snap well suited to morning coffee.
AmarettiCrackly-topped almond macaroons with a bittersweet apricot-kernel aroma, chewy inside and dusted with powdered sugar.
Sesame Seed Cookies (Reginelle)Sicilian finger cookies rolled in toasted sesame seeds, with a crumbly, lightly sweet interior and nutty, toasty exterior.
Butter CookiesPiped spritz-style rings and swirls, some dipped in chocolate or sprinkles, with a crisp bite and a rich vanilla butter flavor.

Breads

CiabattaRustic, flour-dusted slipper loaf with an irregular, holey interior and chewy crust, made from a very wet, slow-fermented dough.
Pane di Altamura-Style LoafLarge round loaf of remilled durum semolina with a thick, dark crust and a dense, fragrant crumb that keeps for days.
GrissiniHand-stretched breadsticks, thin and brittle, sometimes rolled in sesame or flecked with rosemary, served alongside antipasto.
Italian Bread with SesameLong loaf with a crackling seeded crust and a soft, open crumb; a staple for sandwiches, garlic bread and sopping up sauce.
