Rustic Sunbeam Pie

Rustic Sunbeam Pie, a misleading but indicative title. I usually never buy ready-made bread dough, it’s so easy and quick to prepare that I don’t think twice about making it myself… but there are exceptions, this is one of them. There are so many available on the market from various producers and all very good, when we are short on time, the ready-made one is just fine. Rustic Sunbeam Pie is born from the need to prepare and describe a different and appetizing appetizer. Prepare this rustic tart that I call the sunbeam, place it in the center of the table, without cutting it, whole and so appetizing, good, and crunchy! Ready in a few minutes. Perfect for a last-minute appetizer. Visit my blog.giallozafferano.itvaipinacucina and discover many other recipes.

in cucina con pina

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
