How to cook it

Pick up a fresh barra from the panaderia or the supermarket bread aisle; Spanish households buy their bread daily rather than bake it.
Cut the loaf into thick slices, or tear it into rough pieces by hand for a more casual table.
Pile the bread into a basket or onto a plate and set it in the middle of the table before anyone sits down.
Leave it out through the whole comida, for mopping up the sauce from the primer and the segundo alike. Yesterday's bread toasts well or goes into tomorrow's gazpacho.
