Pane frattau (also pani frattau or pane fratau) is a traditional dish from the region of Barbagia, in the central part of the Italian island of Sardinia. The name in Sardinian language literally means "shredded bread", in reference to the main ingredient being shards of pane carasau, the crispbread commonly consumed by shepherds in the region. Originally a frugal food part of the island's rural tradition, the dish has been later popularized, becoming a staple in the island.
