Pepper Biscuits (Friselle) Approximately 30 Piece Pack - Thick Toasted Italian Bread Slices

What makes these Pepper Biscuits different?

These pepper biscuits are thick, hand-cut slices of traditional Italian bread that have been twice-baked to remove all moisture. Unlike standard bread, these are designed to be shelf-stable and rock-hard, providing a dense crunch that stands up to water, oils, and heavy sauces.

The Texture and the Heat

When you hold one of these biscuits, you can feel the density of the bake. We use a high-grade, cracked black pepper that is visible throughout the crumb. During the second bake, the oils from the pepper toast into the wheat, creating a slow-building heat that lingers on the palate.

Because these are hand-cut slices, the surface is rough and porous. This is intentional. That craggy texture is what allows the biscuit to grip olive oil or tomato juices when you prepare a meal.

To keep that signature snap, store these in a dry spot. If they are left near steam or a fresh, soft loaf of bread, they will pull moisture from the air and lose their crunch.

 Preparation

  • Hand-Cutting: The bread is sliced into thick portions while still warm to ensure the interior is exposed for toasting.
  • The Second Bake: Slices return to the oven at a lower heat to draw out moisture and lock in the toasted golden color.
  • Pepper Distribution: We ensure the pepper is folded evenly so every bite carries a consistent spice profile.

Traditional Serving Suggestion

The standard way to enjoy these is with a three-second dip in warm water. This softens the outer layer while the center stays firm. It makes a sturdy base for fried calamari and red sauce, or simply rubbed with a garlic clove and drizzled with oil. The pepper in the biscuit acts as a built-in seasoning for whatever you put on top.
