Abruzzi Bread is named after a region in south-central Italy. It is inspired by the popular calzone, but instead of one filling, it has multiple, making it more flavorful.

Abruzzi Bread is a great way to impress your guests by serving a homemade Italian favorite. It’s filling, delicious, and sure to be a crowd-pleaser on any occasion.
