Introduction
	Literally, pancotto means cooked bread. No other soup is simpler, and so satisfying , but dependent on top quality ingredients. A rich homemade broth and a good white bread are the secret. In my family we make broth with beef and chicken together.
Ingredients
	3/4 lb stale white Italian or French bread, cubed 6 cups (1,5 liter) broth 2 Tbsp Butter 4 egg yolks Parmigiano_Reggiano , freshly grated Extra_virgin_olive_oil
Directions
Step: 1	Heat the broth and the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Stir in the bread cubes, reduce the heat to very low, cover the saucepan and let simmer until bread is completely dissolved and the soup is thickened, stirring occasionally.
Step: 2	Ladle the hot soup into serving dishes, and slide an egg yolk into each dish. The heat of the soup will cook the egg yolk. Sprinkle generously with parmigiano and optionally drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil.
