This is my family recipe for pasqua
I have 4 small loaves (always round) baking now.
We use olive oil not butter and definitely black pepper and only good pecorino Romano
Your slow rise recipe is correct ... 5 hrs
The loaves are saved until holy Saturday then blessed
Somehow they taste better :-)
Served sliced thin with prociutto or mortadella or capicola
And a little vin santo-- sante!
Stella, thanks for the serving suggestions - I'll give them a try when I serve this Saturday/Sunday. Buona Pasqua! PJH
