Notes
- Roll the dough as thin as possible without tearing it. This will make many nice layers in the Scaccia and give the best end result.
- Make sure the oven is preheated and at the right temperature before baking the Scaccia.
- Don't skimp on the fillings, especially the cheese and sauce. Generous amounts help keep the layers moist and flavorful as they bake.
- After baking, allow the Scaccia Ragusana to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
