Neapolitan Stuffed Easter Bread

The casatiello is a savory filled Neapolitan Easter bread that nonna Galasso made from memory. For her it held all the symbolism of faith. Casatiello derives from case, which in Neapolitan dialect means “cheese”, because of the use of cheese in the dough and in the filling. The rising dough meant the promise of new life; the shape of the bread symbolized a crown and the eggs meant rebirth. There are many variations of this stuffed bread, but it is one of those antique recipes not made at home anymore and Neapolitans are likely to buy them at their local bakery. That is a pity!
