About the dish

Scaccia is a unique dish from the Sicilian province of Ragusa that can either be described as a cross between lasagna and calzone pizza or a stuffed flatbread. It's prepared by topping the thinly rolled dough with various ingredients, then folding it over itself so that it resembles a strudel . These long, rectangular stuffed flatbreads are traditionally sliced in pieces, revealing the flavorful layers of dough, sauce, and cheese. There are several regional varieties of scaccia, so in some places it is topped only with sauce and cheese, while in other places it is topped with potatoes, cottage cheese, sausages, and different vegetables.
