Continuing to celebrate Easter

This is Pizza Rustica, a traditional Italian Easter dish. It’s usually made on Good Friday or Holy Saturday and eaten on Easter Sunday. We were a little bit late and made this on Tuesday, but better late than never! It is made with eggs, ricotta cheese, and a variety of other cheeses and meats, baked inside a homemade pizza dough. (The reason we were late was because I had such trouble finding ricotta cheese and yeast for the dough!)
It smelled so good cooking that I had trouble keeping the kids away from it while it cooled!
Not bad for a first try. It was delicious, and worth the effort of 3 stores and waiting for the dough to rise. Next time, I think I would add even more meat and roll the dough a little thinner. Buona Pasqua!

The internet is once again stubbornly refusing to let me upload our photos to the blog. I got these three on early this morning, and all other attempts during the day have failed. I’m going to just post this short entry now and try again tomorrow. We will be going on to the next location on Tuesday, April 30, and I am really hoping the internet is better in the next place. Fingers crossed!
