Are you a pizza lover? Looking to try something unique and delicious? Then, you must try the Sfincione Bagherese, an authentic Sicilian pizza recipe that will transport you to the streets of Italy. In this blog post, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of making this mouth-watering delight.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups of bread flour
  • 2 ¼ cups of warm water
  • 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons of salt
  • 1 cup of finely chopped onions
  • 1 cup of tomato sauce
  • 1 cup of grated pecorino cheese
  • 1 tablespoon of dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently until the yeast dissolves. Let it sit for around 5 minutes or until it becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Gradually mix the ingredients together until a sticky dough forms.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Shape it into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.

Step 2: Prepare the Topping

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Sfincione Bagherese

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Grease a baking sheet with olive oil or use parchment paper.

Punch down the risen dough to release any air bubbles. Place it onto the greased baking sheet and press it out evenly to fill the sheet.

Spoon the tomato sauce over the dough and spread it out evenly with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the sautéed onions over the sauce.

In a small bowl, combine grated pecorino cheese, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if desired). Sprinkle this mixture generously over the pizza.

Step 4: Bake and Enjoy!

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve hot.

The Sfincione Bagherese is a delightful combination of flavors with a thick crust and a perfect balance of tanginess, cheesiness, and a hint of spiciness. It’s an absolute treat for your taste buds.

So, why wait? Gather your ingredients, follow our recipe, and enjoy a slice of Sicily right at home!
