Pizza Siciliana (Sfincione)

Pizza Siciliana (Sfincione)

Palermo, Sicily

Sicily's answer to pizza is the sfincione — a thick, cloud-like rectangular base with a soft, almost focaccia-like crumb. The topping is a slow-cooked sauce of tomatoes, onions, and sometimes anchovies, finished with a generous dusting of seasoned breadcrumbs and caciocavallo cheese.
