I’ve been waiting to do this for a long time!
Its name is “Torta di Pasqua” or “Pizza di Pasqua” (that is Easter cake or Easter pizza), but it has very little to do with the traditional Italian pizza. It’s a typical easter central Italy recipe, made of genuine ingredients and with an unique cheese aroma.
