Know this type of rolls/bread. My mother-in-law was born in Vicenza, Italy. Her mother made/baked them, and she continued the tradition. She gave me the recipe and showed me how to make it. They are absolutely delicious, and time consuming, but worth the work. One of my sons also makes them. He lived in The Vicenza area and found our relatives there. The name/word "ciopa/cioppa" means tasty pieces of bread, according to the people from Vicenza. When I make them, I make a big batch and freeze them. They are shaped/formed and the "horns" develop as they "raise.". Hope this answers your question. They DO exist......

I would love to have this recipe. I hear there is a lady who makes it from her home in Hibbing, MN. It is supposed to be the best around. It is expensive, but tasty. Would you care to share your recipe?

They are called cioppa or ciopa, and pronounced cho-pah. My mother-in-law made them regularly and froze them. They are very delicious and not too easy to make, but they are truly worth the work!! She gave me the recipe and showed me how to make them. I make them on occasion and freeze them. One of my sons also makes them. He was living in Vicenza, Italy for a few years and looked up family there. The word, cioppa/ciopa means "tasty pieces of bread" in Italian, they told him in Italy.
