Uliata is a typical product of the Salento area, which includes the provinces of Brindisi and Lecce.

The Uliata is prepared with double zero type flour, refined flour, barley flour, yeast from previous dough, salt, black pitted olives in brine.

The dough is allowed to rise for few hours before being baked in wood-fired stone ovens.

Uliata can be eaten alone, but it is often stuffed with various ingredients such as Capocollo of Martina Franca, tomatoes, or Caciocavallo cheese.
