Sicilian Pizza (Sfincione)

Step 1

Make the dough by combining the yeast, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Add the flour and salt and knead until a smooth dough forms.

Step 3

Place the dough in a large bowl, cover, and set aside to rise for three hours.

Step 4

While the dough is rising, heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Sauté the onions until soft, about 5-8 minutes. Set half the onions aside to use as toppings and keep the remaining onions in the pan.

Step 5

Add the tomatoes and garlic to the pan and cook for about 20 minutes. Smash the tomatoes with a spatula to make into a thick sauce. Add the oregano and remove it from the heat to cool.

Step 6

Once the dough is ready, press it into a rimmed sheet tray that has been greased with olive oil.

Step 7

Place the anchovy fillets over the dough then top the dough with the cooked onions.

Step 8

Coat the pizza with the sauce and then sprinkle on the grated cheese.

Step 9

Add the breadcrumbs over the entire surface of the pizza then place it in a preheated 450 degrees F oven.

Step 10

Bake for 15 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden and the dough has risen. Slice and enjoy!
