Scaccia

Scaccia is made with a very thin rectangular layer of dough, folded on itself three or four times.

Scaccia can be found in Ragusa and Siracusa,[1][2][3][4][5] as well as some Sicilian American communities (namely Middletown, Connecticut).

Oltremodo appeared on Sicilian tables at the beginning of the 18th century with the recipe based on vegetables and potatoes.

It achieved its success when Moncada himself, prince of Paternò, in 1763, wanted it on his table during the Christmas celebrations.

To date, the scaccia has a wide diffusion in the Sicilian territory and a significant artisanal marketing.
