Sfincioni

"I am a 60 year old Grandmother of Sicilian decent. My grandmother and grandfather came from Sicily. When I got the newsletter and saw Vincent's request for the recipe for Sfincione, I just had to send my family recipe for this most delicious dish, as I have a son whose name is also Vincent and he can eat this like it is going out of style. We have always called it "faccia anziana della donna " "old woman's face", cause that is what it looks like. The recipe is my Grandmother Dominica's. This is good right out of the oven and we even eat it cold right out of the refrigerator. It does not last long in our home.".

Grandma Dominica's Sfincione:

1, 1 pound chub sausage (can use Italian Sausage too)
1 teaspoon oregano or more to taste
1 small can anchovies
Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fresh or frozen bread dough

Spread bread dough in baking pan to approximately 1 inch thick. Let rest while preparing topping. Fry sausage in pan, crumbling as you fry. Add oregano when sausage is almost done. With hands spread olive oil on dough. Break anchovies into small pieces and poke into dough making a checkered pattern. When sausage/oregano mixture is cooked spread over dough. Sprinkle fresh grated Parmesan cheese over top. Bake in 400 F oven for approximately 20 minutes or until done. Sausage/oregano will finish cooking on top of Sfincione in oven.

COOK'S NOTE: I use Pillsbury Bread Dough found in the Dairy Case at the grocery. Unfold bread dough all the way to thinnest size.
