Hornazo is a Spanish Easter pie typically made with flour and yeast and traditionally stuffed with chorizo and hard boiled eggs. Often known as Harnazo de Salamanca this pie is made in many versions in the Salamanca provinces of Spain.I tried making this popular meat pie and replaced the filling with vegetable to suit our palate. The bread turned out really soft and delicious and is loved by each of us.
The dark patches in the centre of the pie on the were because I forgot to take it out from the oven when it was baked. It was weekday the afternoon when I baked the pie and almost time to pick my daughter from school. I was in a hurry and after turning off the oven I totally forgot to take it out. I was glad that it did not ruin the bread from inside and it was only the top that was a little dark.
