Ingredients:
5 eggs
Salt
3/4 cup fresh Pecorino cheese, diced
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup olive oil
8 oz Pasta da Pane, prepared to the first rising
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Lard
Instructions:
Break 3 whole eggs and 2 egg yolks into a bowl and add a
pinch of salt, the Pecorino and Parmesan. Mix well and
stir while adding the oil in a thin stream. Set aside to rest
for 3 to 4 hours.
Flour a pastry board and put the dough on it. Add the flour
and knead until fully incorporated. Make a cavity in the
center of the dough and put the egg and cheese mixture
into it. Knead again, until the mixture is fully absorbed.
Cover the dough with a cloth and set aside to rise for 2
hours in a warm place away from drafts.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using lard, grease a
cake pan 10 in inch diameter, with 6 in high sides. Place the
dough in the pan, cover it with a cloth and set aside to rise
for 1 hour. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the bread
becomes a lovely brown color.
