Sgabeo is an Italian food from Lunigiana, [1] [2] [3] a historical region now divided between Liguria and Tuscany. It is a leavened bread dough, cut into strips, fried and salted on the surface, which is traditionally eaten plain or stuffed with cheeses or salumi . Lately, however, it is not uncommon that sgabeo is also proposed as a sweet, filled with pastry cream or chocolate.
