What is a Picca?

Picca is a type of Italian flatbread made from dough that is stretched and rolled thin. It has a texture similar to pizza crust, but is usually cooked on a griddle or hot pan rather than in an oven. Picca can be served as a side dish or as a main course, and is often topped with tomato sauce and other toppings. It can also be used as a wrap for sandwiches or as a base for pizza.
