Sfincione Pizza Recipe - The Ultimate Sicilian Street Food

The Brooklyn Brothers show you how to make an easy cast-iron Sicilian Sfincione Pizza. The original, true version from Sicily comes from Palermo and is called Sfincione or Sicilian Christmas Pizza, which translates as "thick sponge." This Sfincione recipe is one of the most popular and traditional Sicilian pizzas. Sicilian pizza has a fluffy, spongy bread base topped with a meatless sauce made from tomatoes, onions, herbs, and anchovies, which is covered with breadcrumbs. This thick pizza is a popular street food delicacy easy to find in the Palermitan markets. A must-to-try with a very ancient history.
Happy Cooking!

Mama did a great job raising those brothers. You can see the love they have for her.

[@USA047]

Keep it up guys. Live your videos. Thank you for the insight

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Thanks Joe!

[@Terminal-Vet]

We always pronounced it like, "sven-jooney"....rather than sfin-chioni in my family. Best "pizza" ever.

[@christeenprice5637]

Yes, you will absolutely love this one! Have a great evening!

[@leelee4217]

Oooh Man, I remembered this pizza my whole life growing up. My mother use to make it what seemed like “once a year”. She use to make a stuffed potatoe pizza that was a knife and fork job . Wish I had the recipe! Thank you guys for the memories, It Great being Italian isn’t it?

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Yes, it is! We know good food!

[@salvatrice850]

Fantastic recipe!

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Thanks Nikki!

[@john2k24]

Never seen such a pizza, but looks incredible! Must try

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Hi John! Yes, you definitely need to try this one. It’s a keeper! Have a good evening!

[@ramencurry6672]

You probably can eat this at room temperature since it’s like a bread. Pack it in your lunch bag when you go out for the day.

[@cookingonthefarm]

That sauce looked amazing, loved the tip for helping not cry when chopping onions, we have been learning several tips for that lately. That crust came out wonderful looking with a nice crunch sound. Wonderful pizza God bless.

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Thank you! Refrigerating really helps. Especially, when you have a lot of onions!

[@chriscorsi622]

Yum yum

[@sackdance99]

Keep adding your recipes to the things I have never tried list. I love onions. Looks like a good recipe for the fall, maybe watching some Sunday football. I have to get myself over the no cheese part 🙂

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

I know right! I love cheese on the pizza, but this is definitely a great recipe.

[@CCWCooking]

Hello Brooklyn I haven’t you see cried today 😊😊 Great idea to place the onions 🧅 in the fridge. Bread crumbs and onions, I never heard about that pizza 👍👍👍 Enjoy your day

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Hello French guy! Yes, no tears! That trick really works. Have a great weekend my friend!

[@CCWCooking]

@@BrooklynBrothersCooking thank you so much 😊 Are you ready for the next match against CCW FRANCE 🇫🇷😊😊???

[@paulacassara7577]

I followed the recipe exactly and omg it was out of this world ! Just be sure too make enough because it will go fast . Can’t wait to make it again . Another great recipe !

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Thanks Paula!

[@dfertefwergwergrfgwr]

I told my boss how much I love anchovies. He said years ago he gave his cat an anchovy. The cat hit it with his paw and eventually buried it under the kitchen rug. I guess it wasn't a fan.

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Lmao!

[@2Wheels_NYC]

This is awesome! I just re-seasoned a 3 decade old Lodge cast iron, this will be a great test (and yummy dinner!)

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Thank you sir! Enjoy!

[@donaldlepir606]

Hmmmm. Looking 👍

[@SK-bk3yh]

I love everything about that. Would that be considered Bagharia syle

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

That’s a good question. I’ll have to look that one up.

[@gdoggscreations9221]

I can imagine how good it smells in your kitchen with the making Cast iron Sfincione Pizza .Crust is crunchy and the pizza looks dope delicious. Thumbs up! 45

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Thanks Gdogg!

[@timkline162]

Looks great! I worked at a pizza place in Philly that made their tomato pie just like this with the onions and all. They made the sauce for it every day. it was so good!

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Thanks Tim! Appreciate the feedback! Have a great day!

[@ramencurry6672]

Philly tomato pie is interesting and a nice snack. Extremely rare in Philly though

[@rickdaystar477]

Hey no cheese! I'm thinking these guys gotta be kidding...by 8 minutes in the video it's cheese what cheese? we don't need it. I was good for making it today but no anchovies home. Won't make it without, gotta have the authentic brothers pizza need the anchovies. 🍕👍 Thanks guys.

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Hi Rick! You will love it 😍

[@rickdaystar477]

@@BrooklynBrothersCooking Thanks guys, every video brings me back to memories of family gone by. Especially my grandmother that did it all and it wasn't until I started to learn to make my own dough and pasta myself did I realize the amount of work she did to make us all fed and happy. She had to have " home mades" ( pasta) every Sunday into her 80's. Sorry I'm getting long winded here but pretty soon it will be time to fry egg dipped squash blossoms another favorite of ours.

[@tekela508]

i enjoy your videos i was wondering if you can do a tomato pie video ? i live on the mass/ri line every place i called dont even know what that is....

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Thanks Charlie! We’ll put that on our list. Happy Holidays!

[@CANADIANPIZZALOVER]

Pizza looks absolutely delicious. Could you please tell me the size of the cast iron? Thank you Michael

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Thanks! It’s a 13.25 in skillet

[@paulacassara325]

Ok I’m making this soon! Hubby is now vegan so this is perfect , may have to hide the anchovies 😬

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

lol! The anchovies dissolve in the oil. He will love it! Send my regards!

[@CANADIANPIZZALOVER]

2 QUESTIONS PLEASE 1...IF i wanted to make the sfincioni in a 12x16 lloyds pan what size dough would I use? 2...was the sauce warm or room temp when you put it on... Thank you Michael

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

12 oz dough. Room temperature on the onion sauce

[@dfertefwergwergrfgwr]

Would this work with a carbon steel skillet? Also how big is your cast iron measuring the bottom?

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Not sure if carbon steel would work. We’ve never used it before. The pan measures 12 inches on the bottom.

[@joyceshulz9097]

Your mom has beautiful hair and very nice nails

[@BrooklynBrothersCooking]

Yes, thanks

[@jerryhutchinson3639]

wheres the meat?????
