"Bread of the Three Sisters" is a popular Italian bread that got its name from the three ingredients that are added to the dough: rice, lentils and wheat. According to the classic recipe, steamed wheat grains are placed in the dough. We have replaced them with a more affordable product - wheat groats, which can be bought in large chain stores.
