I also should have mentioned that you can make the grano, the dough and the rest of the filling in the same day. As long as the grano is cooked and cooled, you can make the whole thing and then just let it cool overnight.

I have to admit that this is by far the best recipe I've used so far and I've been making this dessert a long time and have tried many recipes. This one is the creamiest and has the perfect texture. The crust is perfect. The only additions I made was I added both lemon and orange zest to the pasta frolla (crust) and added 5 ml’s of orange blossom water and 5 ml’s of millefiori to the batter and orange and lemon zest to the grano while cooking. We all have our additions to make it our own. Don't be intimidated by this delicious dessert and cheat yourself out of the best thing you ever ate. It's not difficult to make, just time consuming. Go for it you'll be making it from now on! Thanks Laura!

[@TopRealtor333]

My issue with this recipe, is that she doesn’t ACTUALLY give you the exact measurement of how much butter, sugar, milk etc. she uses.

[@Navygrl58]

@@TopRealtor333. The exact recipe is in the link where she breaks everything down.

[@elinex2018]

Hey Laura, I went to an Italian supermarket and made the pastiera exactly like you described it, and it's so good!!!! Thanks!! I will make this for Easter this year. Can you make more of these difficult, traditional recipes? Love them! Kisses from Holland

[@neoandlykkecat]

Here in Norway, we call this cake "The royal cake". That's how much we love it.

[@HeelPower200]

This is the true definition of EPIC.Every step of the recipe is shown from the ground up! Excellent episode Laura.

[@hillaryhollins667]

All my Italian relatives, godmother, auntie made this I missed this authentic food when my parents moved us to CA, thank you so much, please do more of the old country recipe’s PLEASE! I’m in my 70’s now and want to make them with you!❤️ Hillary

[@thelastcourse619]

Laura if only you knew how many times I watched this video! Some day I'll have all the ingredients and enough time and patience to try out this recipe. I'm not Italian but I've been dying to make this since I saw this video

[@495ss]

Wow Laura .. it gave me the shivers when you said that food connects you to your family in Italy it was so beautiful !

[@annakelleher7932]

Thank you ! Thank you so much for this recipe. I got got done baking them. I have both your cookbooks and looking so forward to making your wonderful recipes. I wish you many many blessings from God.

[@sylviaseri4235]

My Neopolitan family makes the grain pie the same way. However, my other side are Northern Italians and they make this using arborio rice and golden raisins instead of the grano cotto and candied citron. Both are equally delicious, but i do orefer the grano cotto one. Great traditional recipe!

[@neffie77]

Oooh! How do they prepare the rice? Just cook it in milk? Would love to try this version, because I loooove golden raisins!

[@marieanne7569]

Laura, your napolitana accent brought tears to my eyes! You're home to me.

[@valevale0411]

I love how you speak italian I'm 15 and my school is italian i hope that one day I can speak italian like you and cook like you, love you laura.

[@roderickhaber]

love the way you said "kannella". that is exactly the way we say it in malta.love your recipes.will definetly try this.xx

[@LauraintheKitchen]

thank you love!

[@dada6677889900]

Laura V swear I loved cooking because of you thank you from the bottom of my heart

[@sammie7513]

he says I'm Italian and I always watch your videos .. every time I appreciate that, thanks to your videos that Americans can learn REAL Italian recipes (often a somewhat 'distorted!) so thank you! brava!

[@juliekostas7322]

Beautiful family recipe! This is one of your signature dishes-- your family gets excited when they see them on the cooling rack!

[@dianabrun7317]

Laura you should write a book, your approach is so easy and makes us love cooking even more...never change....by the way Joey v...great camera skills, you guys make a great team.

[@Ulaam]

This pie is so good. I was in Italy a few days ago, and I bought, all ingredients I need for backing this yummy pie!

[@michelascheuerman7166]

I really know what you mean when you say that the pastiera flavour is home; it is the same for me, it is a happy childhood and cooking with mom and nonna :) xox

[@AussieAngeS]

Oh my this brings back childhood memories to me. This is perfection and I thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us Laura. Happy Easter to you and your family!

[@mdiver5252]

If you do not have the essence of unicorns and the wing dust of fairies you cannot make this pie! Lol!

[@meiyipan4326]

Laura I love you!!! When I'm upset, I love watching ur video, listen to ur voice!!! Kind reminds me of my mum

[@joybmassa]

The best part=the ending when each bite brought you closer & closer to...your family, speaking Italian & wishing us all Happy Easter! Thanks for a great video! (I will, like your Grandmother & Mother, use lard for the piecrust - from grass fed animals and I will look up the "grano" to make that myself...I imagine it can be made at home!) I'm sure it will be worth every minute of preparation! Mille grazie!

[@DontEatChalk]

omg i would love to spend a day just cooking with Laura :D I LOVE YOUR RECIPES!!

[@CecilyPigeon]

I've just come across your videos for the first time and glad I did - this was so interesting and really sweet - you can really tell that this recipe means a lot to you. I've never heard of pastiera and like to give complex recipes a go from time to time, so thank you for sharing!

[@emmavm5834]

I love how enthousiastic you are about this recipe, I can really see you love it :) it makes you look very beatiful :)

[@rscelp]

I have a similar recipe from my grandmother but it does not have the grano cotto in it. She also made a rice pie. She came here in the early part of the 1900's and I'm wondering if she could not get it so she started to leave it out. She passed away when I was one and a half and I only have one aunt left to ask and she is 94. But you are right about the dough, it is difficult to work with. Now that is about the same.

[@nicasya]

mi piace da morire quando parli in italiano! sei simpaticissima e bravissima. ho provato tante tue ricette e il risultato e' sempre stato ottimo. io vivo in italia, vicino a milano ma una parte della mia famiglia vive in canada e tramite il tuo canale riesco a preparare cose che qui in italia non trovo e che mi ricordano tanto il canada e la mia famiglia. grazie laura

[@theauthenticnut2.0]

Thanks for the recipe Laura! Happy Holidays!

[@TheNinnyfee]

Laura, I just tried to look up grano cotto and if was a recipe for it so that you wouldn't have to buy it that expensive in the US. As far as I found out from ingredients lists of grano cotto, it's just cooked wheat berries in salt water as far as I could tell and you can find recipes for cooked wheat berries on many sites. Then you only have to order the millefiori.

[@ringweed]

This was a wonderful pie. I made one modification to the recipe by adding 2 lbs. of ricotta instead of what the recipe called for. It made the pie thicker and creamier. I found the Vanillina and the Mille Fiore on Amazon. The Mille Fiore smelled like those little orange soft candies in the shape of peanuts.

[@BarbaChico]

Hey Laura! I'm a big fan of yours. I'm Italian and before today, I must admit I wasn't so sure you were able to talk Italian very well. But gosh, I laughed loud with great satisfaction when you said the sentence for the Napolitans. Apologies for all other readers but I'm turning to Italian now... Con quella frase in napoletano hai guadagnato 1000 punti, sei stata molto simpatica e hai fatto trasparire l'amore e la gioia di vivere che contraddistingue una vera napoletana! Grazie! E buona Pasqua!

[@wejukie]

Some of my friends are from naples , well a city near it : casaleto . So everytime i hear you speak italian , it brings back memories to me.

[@gia6743]

My mom made this and hers was my favorite out all the recipes. It looks so good. It was an Easter favorite.

[@DCARA06]

Loved this episode! Thanks for sharing it with us. Even though most won't have the opportunity to try this recipe, it was great to watch you make it and enjoy it!

[@nasrineable]

Wow what a hard work but you did with a big smile on your face. Thanks.

[@neffie77]

Trying this out on my colleagues tomorrow and if it's good like I believe it is, I will bake it for Christmas this year. The second pie is in the oven right now. Merry Christmas, everybody. And bye bye 2021!

[@tigeress699]

[@marilusannino613]

[@BrunetteAmbitionz]

Your makeup looks amazing here. My family is from Naples too, so that's just another reason I love watching you. Love your videos and this recipe!

[@teegeneva]

I watched this whole video without skipping, knowing I'd never make this just because I love how passionate Laura is about food. (:

[@kiss2cry]

im majorly sick. haven't had an appetite for three days, been living off toast. watch your video, I'm starving! i have my appetite back :D its glorious!

[@WatchYourAttitude]

You know the recipe is good when Laura starts eating before the camera is turned on. Have a great easter Laura!

[@lorijamroz7310]

I grew up in an Italian household, & my "Noanna' would make this EVERY Easter!!

[@GCRokzZzZz]

Awww Laura, that ending was sweet :) I know how it is when you're alone in a country away from your family. I'm from Brazil and although I'm very lucky to have my entire family here, I definitely know how difficult it can be. This looks amazing!

[@kemyssss]

io sono italiana e guardo sempre i tuoi video..ogni volta apprezzo che grazie ai tuoi video gli americani possano imparare VERE ricette italiane (spesso hanno una visione un po' distorta!!) quindi grazie! brava! :)

[@RobinOrzo]

This is also my absolute favorite pie. We always had it for holidays. I want to try to make it but does look like a lot of work. Thank you for posting this!!

[@Rythm123]

thanks for taking your time to make this precious pie!

[@thomasmelchiorre4860]

Thank you for posting this recipe. I made this last Easter and it was delicious! Buona Pasqua Laura to you and your family.

[@LauraintheKitchen]

you're so sweet, thank you!

[@CrashN2Me1000]

That awkward moment when Laura first posted this, and it had been up only a couple of hours when some girl jumped in the comments and said, "l *just* made this! So delicious!" and the rest of us Vitalians here were like, "Ah, *really*???" LOL! ...Oh, and "Vitalians" is the name l gave to all of the longtime Laura fans.

[@NinaBaby210]

CrashN2Me1000 .....Laura In the Kitchen is not the only one with this recipe?😳 Your point?🤔

[@areumpark2717]

Ummmm this doesn’t really make sense

[@WonderFabseyy]

cara laura, grazie per questa pastiera!!! io la mangierò questa domenica, perche senza non si puo! ricordo di avertela chiesta un anno fa quando hai fatto il tortano, tu mi avevi risposto e mi dissi che devi ancora comprare il grano. dopo un anno finalmente vedo come fai la nostra pastiera napoletana e come vedi continuo a seguirti su youtube! sei la migliore, un saluto e buona pasqua!

[@MrsMauraMae]

I am Napolitana and my Mom makes this with Arboro Rice. It's much easier to find and it's $2 a bag.

[@LauraintheKitchen]

Sorry love, we meant to get this up sooner but had some issues with rendering the video.. (figures it would have to happen with a recipe that has a time crunch associated with it!!) To top it off, I'm traveling and had to leave town right when it had to go live.. There are only two of us running the show! (so these things happen) :)

[@Cuttiegirlsu]

this recipe is so cool because i cant imagine what this taste like which intrigues me and makes me wanna try it! or at least find it at an italian pastry shop thank you for the recipe!

[@isayhi72]

This is my favorite out of all of your videos. I loved the part about your family at the end. :)

[@rgerman948]

I love easter pie my nonna made it every Easter. Then my mom did it now its my turn to make it for my wifes family

[@Bendsiac]

[@LauraintheKitchen]

[@singerlovesmakeup]

Laura are you from Naples like me? Such a proud!! Pastiera is our typical holidays dessert and we love it and make it almost all along the year, not only at Christmas or Easter Day. è bello sentirti parlare un pò italiano!Baci!!!Saluti da Napoli!

[@dianabrun7317]

Omg, love your makeup...by far you are the nicest, most beautiful chef....I've been watching your videos nonstop...I

[@samanthacirillo5050]

This is the best pie to have at Easter.. Thank you for doing this.. Would have this with my nonno

[@alexandrasjoblom4825]

Haha, I loved that you started eating before the camera was even on! xD

[@mouhint]

OMG, there is a set of Pastiera making kit available online as you did suggest. Thq Laura, gotta try to bake it someday soon. Happy Easter!

[@SirenSeaAquariums]

Never heard of this long process but it seems easy. Looks yummy good job laura

[@elisafitzula5585]

Hi Laura I made your recipe I used both mila fliora and another time used orange blossom water snd rose water and was wondering what you thought I thought it was both delicious

[@Peace-bi1fp]

Brilliant Chef Laura. Well Done!

[@futtie321]

Laura you are amazing, I don't know what I would do without you!!

[@mcgriddlesftw]

I love your videos that are more than 10 minutes!

[@stellasciolino498]

Laura, what you poured from the jar, to the saucepan...looks like cuccia...my mother used to cook it for us on St. Lucia’s day in December...is it the same grain? Thank you for keeping these traditions alive!

[@MeganMatier]

First video I've given a thumbs up because I really enjoyed seeing how much this meant to you, and the whole slice you took at the end rather a lil modest taste lol

[@thomasmelchiorre4860]

Laura this is the best recipe!

[@lindakookt]

I liked before watching, because I was sooo looking forward to this recipe!

[@grafflover100]

Next time you go to Italy would you consider showing us around? I would love and appreciate that so much!

[@kisskissnomnom]

Do not worry about showing & making more complicated recipes. :) If I make something more special, like for Christmas, birthdays etc., I like spending more time in the kitchen and making something more advanced than for my everyday meal.

[@MelissaDiaz-ec9vr]

looks fabulous!

[@lmo222]

Looks difficult but I wanna try it.

[@sofiacurcuru8116]

If you can't find fresh dry ricotta then dump ricotta over cheese cloth hanging above a container overnight

[@lorijamroz7310]

THANK YOU!!!

[@navneetganda5212]

[@robertwiley3171]

As usual Laura.my time with you even if only on KZbin was a absolute delight ...placevole girl bellissima

[@SuperFavorite101]

Laura thank you for this video

[@lucia-maria]

Ohhh, I am sooooo doin it!!!! My grandma was makin pastiera all the time when I was a kid

[@mermerbee]

I grew up eating pastiera, but my favourite is the savoury one with the pasta...mmmm, it's not Easter without it.

[@AvenueD417]

cant go wrong with strutto or manteca like what us spanish speakers call it, it adds amazing flavor even though its frowned upon these days in the U.S. Buona Pasqua Laura

[@tabaks]

The way I understand my searches online, the millefiori is orange blossom extract. And that can be found in US readily.

[@RobinOrzo]

This is also my absolute favorite pie. We always hadit

[@Naylanicole01]

Pause at 11:51 her face is priceless and I love it !

[@kisssso]
