There Rustic Neapolitan pizza, is a savory cake, of Campania origins. A cake that, as per tradition, is prepared for lunch on Christmas Eve to “keep light” in view of the dinner. As time passes, this delicious rustic pizza is prepared at any time of the year. An excellent idea to prepare and enjoy for Christmas Eve lunch, instead of the more classic one Esacrole pizza. The filling can vary according to your tastes, and/or what you have in the fridge, I advise you to prepare this fantastic rustic cake well in advance, if you have time even the night before.
