- Preparation: 90 min
- Cooking: 25 min
- Makes: 1 serving (454 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Pescatarian, High protein
- Contains: dairy, fish, gluten
Ingredients
- 140 g Flour, bread (strong)
- 2 g Yeast, active dry
- 10 g Olive oil
- 1 g Salt
- 90 g Water
- 100 g Onions, raw
- 60 g Tomato puree
- 10 g Anchovies, canned in oil
- 10 g Breadcrumbs, dry
- 30 g Provolone cheese
- 1 g Oregano, dried
Method
- Mix the flour, yeast, half the olive oil, salt and water into a soft dough; knead 8 minutes, then cover and let rise 2-3 hours until doubled, as sfincione's dough is meant to be thick and spongy.
- Meanwhile, slice the onion and cook it slowly in a little of the remaining olive oil for 15 minutes until very soft and sweet; stir in the tomato puree and anchovies and simmer 5 minutes.
- Press the risen dough out by hand into an oiled baking tray to about 2 cm thick; it does not need to be perfectly round.
- Spread the onion-tomato sauce over the top, then scatter with the diced provolone (a stand-in for caciocavallo) and the dried oregano.
- Top with the breadcrumbs and drizzle with the last of the olive oil.
- Bake at 220 °C (425 °F) for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden and the top is set.
