    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring full temperature before starting for even crisping.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?
The essential ingredient is pane carasau — a traditional Sardinian flatbread. Its ultra-thin, light texture is the foundation for pane guttiau and what sets this savory snack apart from others.
Q. What cooking step ensures perfect crispness?
Arranging the pane carasau in a single layer and fully preheating the oven to 400°F is crucial. This direct heat, combined with even olive oil brushing, guarantees each piece bakes crisp without sogginess or burning.
Q. How do I avoid over-toasting or burning the bread?
Monitor baking closely after 10 minutes. Rotate trays halfway through and remove sheets as soon as the edges turn golden. Letting them cool for a minute adds crunch and prevents overcooking.
Q. What is the nutrition breakdown per serving?
Each 30g serving contains about 120 kcal, with 20g carbohydrates (67% of calories), 3g protein (10%), and 3.5g fat (23%) — making this a light, balanced snack suitable for many diets.
