I think Grandma would be proud that I am picking up her holiday tradition of making sfincioni . Last year I tried it with a phyllo dough. This year I did two versions - one with a french bread dough, one with a pizza dough. All attempts were quite tasty. I think she would say, "Delicious, dear, but it's not sfincioni ..." What is this elusive delicacy, you might ask? There are many versions , but basically it is a Sicilian cheese pie, served at Christmas. Some say it is the ancient precursor of pizza . It has been called pizza rustica . It can be on the sweet or savory side, depending on what fillings you choose. In Palermo, it is actually sold on the street , the square slices looking like what they call "Sicilian pizza" in the States. Some present it like a calzone . Not sfincioni ! In our family version, Grandma used mozzarella, provolone, and small bits of salami as the base for the filling. Sometimes she would add bits of prosciutto or tiny meat
