A Chicagoland artisanal bakery dedicated to crafting premium, traditionally inspired Italian breads that capture the soul of Tuscan and regional Italian baking.

"Schiacciata"

Schiacciata is a crisp, olive oil-rich Tuscan bread similar to focaccia, known for its airy interior and crunchy crust. It’s made from a simple dough of flour, water, yeast, and olive oil.

Our Favorite Ways
To Use Schiacciata.

A collection of practical ways to use Pronto bread in the kitchen and on the table.

Sandwiches

Schiacciata is perfect for stacked ingredients,
from meats and cheeses to roasted vegetables and spreads.

Charcuterie

Pair with cured meats, soft cheeses, whipped ricotta, marinated olives,
roasted peppers, and spreads like tapenade or artichoke crema.

Bruschetta

Olive oil in the dough, a sturdy crumb, and a well-baked crust make schiacciata
a natural base for tomatoes, herbs, cheese, and other bruschetta toppings.

From The Family Behind Pronto Italian Sandwiches

What began with a commitment to quality Italian sandwiches has grown into a bakery operation that now supplies Pronto’s bread and brings it to grocery shelves as well. From the start, the focus has stayed the same: make it fresh, make it right, and keep building on a strong family foundation.
