My husband thinks it might have been made from the same dough they made pizza from; I don't think so. He calls it pizza bread.

My dad called it pisa bread.....or something like that. Don't know if they put lard in it. Italians didn't cook with lard that I knew of.

Now, my Polish mother in law did cook with lard and bacon grease.

Lard bread is also called pork bread, it has little pieces of pork in it, I guess when the lard cooks.

The perception is that Italians don't cook with lard, well.... there is a lot of pork, kind of the same thing?
