Thanks tofermentation and good bacteria, it generally lasts longer than other types of bread before molding.

Its also easy to revive in the toaster after refrigeration or freezing.

Some mornings when Im in a rush, its just peanut butter on sourdough toast.

(I grew up in south Brooklyn, close to a lot of Italian-American communities.)

Each bite is like eating pizza, Philip once told me.

Then, I sprinkle a layer of grated Parmesan cheese followed by a gentle layer of shredded mozzarella.

On top goes a thin slice of prosciutto, which acts like a savory blanket for the cheese underneath.

The layered toast emerges perfectly crispy, with gooey melted cheese and a lightly seared prosciutto.

Its a beautiful, artisan-worthy creation with plenty of cheesy goodness and umami notes.

And my son cant get enough.

Simple Tip!

I buy my cheeses pre-grated and pre-shredded and my prosciutto comes neatly packaged in slices.

Drizzle a light layer of olive oil evenly over each slice.

Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese over each slice.

Add a layer of shredded mozzarella, dividing it equally between the two slices.

Sprinkle another light layer of Parmesan over the prosciutto.

The toast should be crispy.

Plate the toasts and enjoy them warm and gooey.
