Vegan and vegetarian version of a typical easter filled bread, directly from Napoli (Italy)

Casatiello is a typical filled bread we make for Easter in Napoli. The fillin is usually made whit salame, prosciutto, pancetta, and a lot of meat, cheese and salumi (cold cuts).

This version i made is for the vegan and vegetarian friends of mine: i guarantee that the taste is really close to the original Casatiello, and is also more digestible and dietetic!!

If you are vegetarian, you can replace the feta cheese with provolone cheese.

But if you want to make the original version, just replace all the tofu and seitan with prosciutto, salami and cold cuts, the cream with lard and the feta cheese with provolone cheese, and you've done!
