Oh My! They all look delicious. Will you be sharing the recipe for the ricotta pie?
Looks like you had a great Easter
Added to this,my great-grandmother made a twisted bread with a whole egg in it. Looked great,the bread part was good,but I always seemed to be the one to get most of the shell in my mouth!
Foodhunter…if I had the recipe I would share but that’s my brother-in-law’s and he owns a pastry shop,so I doubt he would give it up willingly!
I remember those Sandi…the bread was almost braided.
Buona Pasqua (e Pasquetta) anche a te!!!
OMG! FRAGUNI! Somebody else who knows of fraguni
What a treat. We always had them at Easter. We also had cuzuppe,which is the bread baked with the egg on top that Sandi referred to.
Sorry…it is spelled cuzzuppe.
Everything looks delicious here Joe! I think you must love ricotta cheese..haha. But who doesn’t?
Imani…thanks for visiting! I love Falerna!!We’re not too far from you…just on the other side of Lamezia:Feroleto Antico. Probably why we both know about Fraguni.
What a fab line up! Love everyone of them and wish they were making their way over to my table. Guess I’ll have to make some of them one by one.
What a wonderful site. I am so glad I found it.
BTW,I have a recipe for the bread. I don’t mind sharing.
