What to do when that Sfincione craving hits but for some reason can’t get to the store for onions, anchovies, and caciocavallo cheese? Maybe you just don’t have time, maybe your cars busted, or maybe you’re in the middle of a COVID-19 lockdown. Whatever the reason, this Sfincione Express recipe will get pretty close using an uncooked sauce and common pantry ingredients. Give it a try and come aboard!

Ingredients

• Forza Pizza’s Simple Sicilian Pizza Dough

• 20 oz Sauce (recipe here)

• About 5 cloves of garlic

• 2 Handfulls of pecorino romano cheese

• 2 Handfulls of panko breadcrumbs

• Extra virgin olive oil

Steps

1. Prepare and stretch dough as described in the Simple Sicilian Dough Recipe.

2. Prepare the sauce as described in this recipe and lay it down like below.

3. Roughly chop the garlic, put it in a bowl, and add the EVOO until all the garlic is covered. Coating the garlic in oil prevents raw garlic from burning and also provides a richer taste.

4. Spoon drizzle the garlic so it’s evenly scattered.

5. Sprinkle the pecorino romano over the top and don’t be skimpy with it.

6. Next sprinkle on the panko breadcrumbs.

7. Hit is with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
