Thanks you so much for having this ricepe online. I grew up 2nd generation Italian American. Both of my paternal grandparents were from the Abruzzo region. My family made a very similar bread every year. We would save the palms and bake them into the top of the bread in the shape of a cross. We called this bread Pustege (phonetic spelling). Actually it was more of a dense eggy sharp cheese cake. I realise that ricepes differ from region to region. But this is the closest ricepe I have found to date to what we ate and made when I was a child.
