Dish made with bread

[margaretanne]

Looking for a dish my grandmother used to make. It is mainly softened bread and it was called what phonetically sounds like "pungwhy." My grandmother was from the small town of Faeto near Foggia. Thank you.

Can you provide any more information on what the dish is like? Sweet or savory, served hot or cold, was a side dish or eaten on its own, were there any other ingredients you can remember?

It was a savory,hot dish which I think was served as a side. The bread was very moist, almost mushy and had garlic in it. Thank you.

I would stay away from white bread. It's high in carbs. White bread is bad for me.

My family is from Faeto also. I've eaten "pungwhy" since I was a child and have a recipe handed down from my grandmother. If you are still searching for this recipe I can send it to you. Please let me know. This was my father's favorite comfort food and we probably ate it once a week, especially on Fridays before we were allowed to eat meat.
