Scaccia: Where Lasagna Meets Pizza

Gooey, cheesy layers stacked into a swirled loaf. [logo]( [hero]( Tatiana Bautista Editorial Coordinator What happens when you combine lasagna, calzone, and pizza? A scaccia is born. This Sicilian street food, also known as pizza loaf or lasagna bread, has cheesy, saucy layers, just like Garfield's favorite casserole. It gets stuffed like a calzone and has the leopard-spotted exterior of a Neapolitan pie. And while this swirled bread might look complicated to make, I promise it's easier to achieve than it looks — equipped with a rolling pin and a bag of ['00' flour](, all it takes is a few rounds of spreading, filling, and folding to make this impressive loaf. Now let's begin our lesson. This week's assignment Learn a new skill, and fold some scaccia. [Get the Recipe]( [hero]( 1. A pizza loaf calls for pizza flour The right flour — plus rounds of rolling and folding — are what give this loaf its distinct pockets of cheese, sauce, and herbs, sandwiched between tender layers of dough. Our ['00' Pizza Flour]( makes the dough easy to roll out, and also gives this Sicilian specialty its range of textures: a tender interior and crusty exterior. [Get Yours]( [hero]( 2. Roll and fold like a pro Scaccia starts with a thinly rolled rectangle of dough. Its center then gets covered with tomato sauce and cheese, and the bare edges are folded over the sauced center. You repeat the process two more times, until you have a compact, layered parcel that's just the right size for a [loaf pan](. A [bowl scraper]( is especially handy here for marking where you'll add fillings and fold the dough. [hero]( 3. Keep your sauce thick As you may recall from our last lesson, the sauce is as important to your pizza as the crust and toppings. After taking on a project bake like scaccia, the last thing you want is a soggy result. Don't skip the step of simmering that homemade tomato sauce (the same goes for storebought) for 10 to 15 minutes to draw out more moisture. Save me a slice for lunch and don't forget the aperitivo!
