Sicilian Scaccia / Scaccia Siciliana
ciao italia

Pizza dough takes on new meaning when Mary Ann layers it with tomato sauce and sliced caciocavallo cheese, then folds it... and folds it again to create a Sicilian favorite, when baked in the oven rises to new heights of comfort food into a golden brown loaf that slices like a dream revealing succulent swirls of melted cheese and hot tomato sauce. Seconds, anyone?
