Sfincione palermitano

Italy · Europe

Short description: This pizza-like bread is soft and high-risen, with a savory topping that is more crumbly than melty.
Ingredients: Thick bread dough, tomato sauce, onion, anchovy, caciocavallo cheese, breadcrumbs, oregano, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Cultural note: It is associated with bakery counters and street snacks, often cut into squares and eaten warm or at room temperature.
Common misconception: It is not simply a thick-crust pizza; the breadcrumb topping and onion-anchovy base are central to its identity.
