A recipe – Casatiello Napoletano (Neapolitan Easter bread)

Natale con i tuoi, Pasqua con chi vuoi…*

Easter is a time for baking and eating lots of chocolate as well as cross shaped buns. The weather is usually warmer, the days longer and the parks and fields full of beautiful shades of yellow, pink, blue and white. Back in Napoli, we have a savoury cake which we make at this time of year, very traditional and absolutely mooreish, called Casatiello, a sort of stuffed bread. We made it a few years ago for our supper club guests and everyone loved it, so I thought to make it finally again this year, since we are spending the Easter weekend here at home in London.

Below the recipe we got from my auntie. Her version has hardly any quantity or specifics so it was a bit of a shot in the dark but it came out pretty well. And how can you go wrong when you use such delicious ingredients anyway…not the lightest and healthiest but hey, it’s a special occasion!

Happy Easter everyone
