Sicilian Pizza deserves the spotlight. Essentially a souped-up focaccia, this pizza is just as delicious as it is easy to make. WHICH, is exactly why I've spent the last few months recipe testing this bad boy to bring you the ULTIMATE at-home Sicilian Pizza. I even called up my buddies at 100-year-old Chicago landmark Pompeí to give me some tips. So roll up your sleeves, roll up some dough, and let's get cooking 🤘🏼 Adam

    Fun fact, I was also months in the making 😍

    I don’t know a single person from NYC that forgot about a Sicilian slice. 😅 If you get a chance make your way to L&B’s Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn. They got a great square. Also try cast iron square pans if you can spare the cost. After they are seasoned, they brown in a way that a sheet pan couldn’t The technique of triple baking is done at L&B’s to reinforce the dough allowing for more sauce and toppings without making the pizza soggy.

    Not forgotten at all, just a lot harder to find a good one than a regular pizza. I jave had very few really good Sicilian slices, even in NYC.
  • @r.llynch4124
    After the final stretch you should let it rise in the pan for 4-6 hrs before baking. That is the key to getting airy crust

    My pick is the Scarrs NYC Style. Cheese, cheese and more cheese I always say. Thanks Adam for sharing these awesome recipes 👍👏

    When I make my thick crust Sicilian-adjecent pie, I also do a triple bake....cheese next (usually the dry ones, parmesano) waterproofing, Oven. sauce let it dry out a bit in the oven...then end in cheese (The more the merrier) and do the final melt. hey wait that's quadruple hehehehe. back in the 1970s a Sicilian friend of mine who spoke no English made a delicious bread crumb dish with minimal ingredients...Fond food memories. Adam our Polska Sensei, I really enjoy the way you try to use optimum ingredients for optimum results. Ghee was in inspired choice. There is something I'd like to see you tackle. it's a Pie Crust comparison. I went through several (starting with julia child in the 60s) But in the 90s on TLC I watched Biba Caggiano, A Bolognese restaurant owner (Sacramento, Biba's) who made a crust with 2 C flour, 2z3 c butter, 1 large egg, 1 T sugar (I use less), pinch salt, 3T white wine. Since the 90s this is my go to pie crust. I'd like to see you put your investigatory prowess and intelligence into seeing which you might prefer. All the best to everyone, In Mexico February is the Month of Love and friendship. Love to you all Jim Oaxaca Retired and still cookin up a storm.

    Please let me know how you made the whipped ricotta! Did you use store bought ricotta or did you make it yourself? Did you whip it with cream, whole milk, water, etc.? Any information / tips on how you made whipped ricotta would be appreciated. I searched YouTube and the other recipes are for dips or toast spreads. Thank you!
