I'm so glad I found this video about the traditional Scaccia. My mothers family is from Sicily and Scaccia is a common dish for us. The recipe has been passed from each generation to another in family reunions. Our recipe includes salsiccia in the sauce and it is amazing as it adds another layer flavour. Wonderful video!

[@GiovannaBelliaLaMarca]

Thank you Marco. I don't add meat to this Scaccia because then it doesn't need refrigeration and it's perfect to take to a picnic. It's also traditional.

So happy I found this video on Scaccia. My grandparents are from Ragusa! We have this every Christmas eve. Scaccia filled with Ricotta and Saussage, Eggplant and Tomatoes, and Spinach with raisins! What great memories! I also purchased your book Sicilian Feasts. Your Tomato Sauce on Page 82 looks and smells just like my grandmothers! So easy to make. I am a retired Culinary Arts teachers. Your recipes are well written and straight forward. Love your diagrams, family stories, and pictures. Thank you!

[@kimquinn7728]

Ok... I am at 7:09.... when you began to spread the sauce by hand I knew I fell hard for this video. I'm now 60 and my mom came to mind immediately. Her parents came from Italy in the 1920's. Grandma from Milan, an orphan. Grandpa from Sicily. He traveled to America via a fishing boat. She in Steerage. They met here. I like how simply you express everything. The proclamation about basil and parsley was not compromising but also not condescending. Personally, I found the music a complement. There, joyful, but not overpowering. It didn't sound like an idea of what it should sound like. That it was nice and soft is good. More videos, please! ...lala...la, LAHHH O, SOLE MIO! is rising in the background. 😁

[@GiovannaBelliaLaMarca]

Hi Kim, thank you for your keen observations, I was born in Sicily and I love its climate, history, lore and cuisine, but I also have an affinity for Milan, the big apple of Italy which I love as much as I love New York. We are all enriched by the places we know and love.

I mixed the yeast with the dry ingredients added the water and it made a perfect dough. Thank you!

[@stevest55]

Giovanna, a wonderfully done video on Sicilian Scacce. My grandparents are from Vittoria, Ragusa and I believe that my father learned how to make Scacce from his mother. I don't know my father's recipe, but to the best of my memory, he made Scacce with a filling of spinach, raisins and minced garlic (not too much garlic), olive oil, salt, pepper. The spinach married so well with the sweetness of the raisins. I think he may have coated the Scacce loaf with an egg-wash or maybe he just brushed the outside with olive oil. Oh, how I wish that I could duplicate the taste. So so so so good.

[@GiovannaBelliaLaMarca]

Yes, you can certainly duplicate the taste. Use abundant extra virgin oil oil in the filling of onion spinach, raisins and walnuts. Fry the onion in the olive oil, add the drained and squeezed spinach, and mix to combine the flavors, add raisins and walnuts, stir again and make this the filling of a pie using bread dough for the upper and lower crust. After you top the bottom crust with the spinach filling, drizzle with additional olive oil, place the top crust on the pie and seal the edges. Brush with egg or olive oil and prick the surface with a fork. Actually I plan to do a video of filled Scacce such as spinach, broccoli, eggplant, ricotta and leek etc.

Yes, you can add 1/4 - 1/2 cup of oil and reduce the amount of water by the same measure.
