Bread is a staple in any Italian home. But Capocollo Bread is… a real Special Treat!

Ingredients

For 1 Batch(es)

For the Bread:

  • 1 pound all purpose flour

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon salt

Directions

  1. Melt the yeast in 1 Oz milk.

  2. Mix all the ingredients for the dough by adding as much milk as needed to make the dough elastic and soft.

  4. Spread the ingredients of the filling over the entire surface of the dough.
