Grubmasters's video: Pizzagaina Pizza Rustica - Italian Easter Meat Cheese Pie - Baked in a Dutch Oven

Pizzagaina, the Italian Easter meat and cheese pie from my childhood. We've added some more items from my Mom's recipe, but it is very true to what she used to make for the family back in the day. I've seen these sold in stores, but as my Dad would say, "they're cheap with the ingredients!". It's no wonder, when you add up the meat and cheese that goes into this pie, in order to sell it and make a profit, you would have to charge $30 a pie. I'll confess, I didn't total everything up... compromise elsewhere right? But I know it was well under that... As you can see in the video, I didn't exactly measure. Ask the clerk at your local deli to give you slices that are about a 1/4 inch thick. If they're not jammed up, they will oblige. Ingredients: 1 pound ricotta cheese 1/4 pound basket cheese 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup shredded roman cheese 1/4 round slice of provolone 1/4 round slice of slicing pepperoni 1/4 round slice of genoa salami 1/4 round slice of capicola 1/4 slice of prosciutto 2 beaten eggs 1 beaten egg yolk as an egg wash 2 pie crusts 1 ziti for the chimney My mom's original recipe cards are at the end of the video... it yields two pies. By the way, we always pronounced it "Pizza Gain"... Enjoy!
