Filled breads are the most appealing. They are great for buffet presentations and have the element of surprise when the contents are revealed. Rustic pizza pies come from rural Southern Italy. Unlike pizzas which cooked quickly at a high temperature, they are baked at a moderate heat to allow the ingredients inside to cook evenly. The broccoli can be substituted using any vegetable such as cauliflower or a combination of garden fresh veggies!
