I never post the right dish at the right time.
Not in time for Christmas, out of time for St. Valentine and so on.
This year I’m here more than a month in advance with a very special recipe for Easter.
How did I do this?
Well I baked this casatiello last year and I’ve never posted it. 🙁
What a shame…
But I’m trying to recover after a year of not posting and this stuffed bread is something you have absolutely to try: it’s ok for your Easter brunch or as a starter for the Easter lunch.
You can rely on this recipe as it comes from my friend Jessica: she is half Neapolitan and half American (from Seattle) and she is always of inspiration as she cooks so well!
I often argue with rised dough but I can assure this recipe is foolproof, follow me and give a chance to it, it will become an Easter favourite!
As you can see I am more stable now and I am back with a lot of nice recipes: I’ve also started to understand light in the new home and I start to take acceptable photos.
You can see them on my Instagram profile, follow it if you like! 😉
