This Italian bread is an eye-catching eggless bread. A beautiful and perfect canvas of veggies topped on the basic bread loaf. This is an eggless version, a bit chewy and olive oil-rich. It has a variety of herbs and veggies arranged in garden art. With the help of beautiful colorful vegetables available, I have tried to make this edible garden. This can be served with hot minestrone soup, a perfect meal by itself. What more one can ask for!! #cppassport #cppitaly
