The Teramo Easter Pizza is a sweet from Abruzzo, specifically from the Teramo area.
A typical leavened cake for this Easter period, and I recommend taking some time to prepare it.
Note that one of the rising times is 12 hours, so coincide it with the night.
Let’s say it’s a bit long, but really an exceptional result…well, as a good Abruzzese, I’m a bit biased, but you have to try it.
Very soft and tasty, you can enjoy it as a snack and at breakfast…everyone will appreciate it!
So let’s get to work following my directions, and I’m sure you’ll like it!!!
I replaced the citron and raisins with chocolate chips because the latter are much more appreciated.
If you make this or any of my other recipes on my blog, feel free to send me your photos, and I’ll post them on my FB page in your name.

Ingredients to make Teramo Easter Pizza
- 5 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 6 medium eggs
- 0.5 oz Fresh brewer's yeast
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil (small coffee cup)
- 1 tsp Anise seeds
- 1 tbsp Candied citron
- 1 tbsp Raisins
- 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon
Preparation of Teramo Easter Pizza
First, beat the egg whites until stiff and the yolks separately, then combine them and add the sugar, stirring gently.
Add the yeast, flour, and oil and mix well, first in its container and then transfer it to a work surface and knead until you get a uniform dough.
Let it rise covered in a warm place for 12 hours.
After rising, add the anise seeds, candied fruit, raisins (previously soaked for at least 10 minutes, then drained), and cinnamon to the dough, kneading it uniformly again.
At this point, grease and flour a cylindrical mold about 11 inches in diameter. Let it rise again for 5-6 hours, after which the dough will be ready to bake.
Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 45 minutes.
If during baking you see that the top is browning too much, place a sheet of foil on top.
