TWD – Tuesdays with Dorie

Pizza Rustica

Overall the recipe was easy to make, didn’t take long, and everything went smoothly (except for our grocery store didn’t have power when I went to buy the ingredients!)

The crust tore a bit on me, but I just patched it.  I also didn’t have quite enough for the 12 strips of lattice, but I guess I cut my strips a bit thick.  The filling was tasty, but the crust was too sweet for me.  I thought the third cup sugar was a bit much.  If I make this recipe again I will definitely make the crust savory.

Since there are so few ingredients in the filling, I highly recommend using the best quality ingredients you can afford.  This helps make the filling flavorful.  I did substitute smoked mozzarella for the mozzarella, and it worked well.  I think this would be a really good brunch dish.  It would be interesting to try various filling ingredients too.

To get the recipe check out the book Baking with Julia, by Dorie Greenspan.  Or, view it on the sites of these fellow Tuesdays with Dorie bloggers: Capitol Dining Region or The Place They Call Home
