  1. My grandmother used to make these each year at spring, as part of our Easter. Hers were made in a baking dish, like a big, thick pie. When I started making them I used a loaf pan so that I could heat leftover slices in a toaster.
    It never occurred to me to make small pies like these.
    As a kid, I never understood why it was called "la pizza rustica". In my little mind, a pizza was something flat, round, covered with cheese and sauce. Seeing this recipe, now I understand.
