Worth knowing

Gluten-free bread is denser and drier than wheat bread, so it toasts well and takes a wet topping without going soggy.
Ricotta is 150 kcal per 100 g, milder and creamier than cottage cheese for about half as many calories again. The protein is low here at 8 g, and it is not the reason to eat it.
