Our family enjoys this for Easter, called Pizza Chiena (pro. ‘Gain’). And that’s why we laugh, because we ‘gain’ weight after eating it! It’s rich!

Wow, this is a blast from the past! My mom, grama made this from memory, no written recipe. The only difference is the dough; They use a dense yeast dough. Ooh so good. We called it “Pizza Gain” but I see it listed as Pizza Ghen or Pizza Rustica.

I have made this a fwe times now and my hubby loves it. I used a nice Romano cheese in place of the Grana Padano and it still tasted great. I also prepped all the ingredients the night before and just mixed it up and baked it the next morning.

I made this on Easter and several times since then. Everyone loves it. I make it for breakfast whenever we have guests!

I just have to say that I made this the other night. I did do some substitutions on the meat and cheeses but it was a HUGE hit with my husband. It was absolutely delightful! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
