    Ingredients list calls for "firm bread dough," but recipe note indicates that this is to mean "mollica," the soft inner part of a loaf of firm bread.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Great texture & flavor. I used 11/4 plain breadcrumbs instead of the bread dough/mollica. Made them a couple of times in different sizes. Think it would be good as a vegetable/poultry stuffing, too.
