"Ftira bread is something that the Maltese hold close to their hearts as it is part of their history and culture. Picture a disc-shaped semi-flat bread made with flour, water and salt that is reminiscent of a ciabatta in both texture and taste, but is uniquely different at the same time. Top with desired toppings: Common toppings in Malta may include: 1: Common ftira toppings include sliced tomatoes, anchovies, tuna, capers, olives and cooked potatoes or 2: The ftira is often topped with thin sliced chicken breast, tomatoes, onions, fresh sage, black olives, white wine and olive oil."
