Pizza De Pasqua Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Place yeast in a bowl with warm water and flour. Work the mixture into a soft ball (add extra flour till the soft ball forms) use flour to move in a bowl that has been sprayed with Pam and floured also use flour to remove from hands cover with a towel and have it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours.
  • Half I= 6 ounces of yeast in a bowl with 1 ½ cups of warm water and 3 ½ ounces of flour. Work the mixture into a soft ball ,(add extra flour till the soft ball forms) use flour to move in a bowl that has been sprayed with Pam and floured use flour to remove the mixture from your hands cover with a towel and have it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours.
  • After the ball has risen well, blend in the following ingredients:
  • 2 lbs or 4 cup of sugar
  • 10 eggs
  • 8 oz of Crisco shortening (dissolved)
  • 8 oz of ricotta
  • 1 teas of lemon
  • 1 teas of vanilla extract
  • 2 teas of cinnamon extract or 8 drops of cinnamon oil
  • 2 teas of almond or anise extract or substitute
  • With 2 oz of Sambuca or Whiskey ( Ma and Nonna used Whiskey )
  • Half= After the ball has risen well, blend in the following ingredients:
  • 1 lbs or 2 cups of sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 4 oz of Crisco shortening
  • 4 oz of ricotta
  • ½ teas of lemon
  • ½ teas of vanilla extract
  • 1 teas of cinnamon extract or 4 drops of cinnamon oil
  • 1 teas of almond or anise extract or substitute
  • With 1 oz of Sambuca or Whiskey ( my Mother and Grandmother used Whiskey )
  • First weigh the bowl subtract this from the weight of the mixture.
  • Kneed in enough flour so that the mixture weighs about 7 lbs = half 3 ½ lbs . This has to be weighed to much flour will prevent rising and to little will cause it to rise to much ( bathroom scale is OK ) Place in a sprayed and floured bowl again use flour to remove the mixture from your hands.
  • Let the dough rise 2 hours more covered with a towel and in a warm place. After it has risen, kneed the entire mixture again so that all the ingredients are well-blended. Heavily baste the metal pans or Pyrex baking bowls that are tall enough to allow for extra rising during baking with Crisco.
  • Split the dough with a knife and use flour to help get the dough from the bowl to the pans.
  • Have the dough rise for about 3 hours in a warm place covered with a towel until a tiny black "eyes" (bubbles) have formed on top of the dough that means the dough has fully risen.
  • After these three hours of rising, beat 2 eggs and a little milk in a cup and “lightly” brush onto the tops of the raised dough. Half is 1 egg and a little milk “lightly” brush onto the tops of the raised dough.
  • PIZZA DI PASQUA
  • Place the metal pans in the oven and cook at 350 degrees F for about 1 hour.
  • For Glass (Pyrex or heat tempered glass) in the oven at 325 degrees F for about 1 hour.
  • I use an Oven Temperature gauge to make sure the oven is the correct temperature.
  • (Before making these three large loaves, make a half the recipe so that you can test whether the dough has fully risen, and whether the oven temperature and cooking time are correct.)

    I can't wait to try this of course I have to use wheat free flour so I hope it works for me. The only other problem mya be the shortening, I will have to shop carefully for it. It sounds soooo yummy.
