Cabbuci - the rustic bread rolls of Trapani - are one of those humble Sicilian treasures that instantly transport you to sunlit kitchens and long summer afternoons by the sea. Made from simple, well-proved bread dough, they bake into soft, warm rolls with a lightly golden crust, ready to be filled with whatever the season has to offer.

Their origins lie in the island’s deep connection to wheat and bread-making, traditions carried proudly through generations. In Trapani, cabbuci are often split open and stuffed with local specialities such as salami, tuma (a soft, delicate Sicilian cheese) and ripe tomatoes - a combination that feels wonderfully rustic and deeply satisfying.

Perfect for picnics, informal lunches or easy dinners with friends, these rolls shine in spring and summer when fresh ingredients truly sing. One bite and you’ll understand why they’re cherished across western Sicily.
