Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the flours, water and yeast, then add the salt and 2 tbsp oil. Knead 8 minutes and rise for 1 hour.

    Divide into six, shape into balls and rest for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Flatten each into a disc on an oiled tray and dimple hard with your fingertips.

  4. 4

    Scatter with dried tomato, oregano and chilli, and drizzle with the remaining oil.

  5. 5

Recipe notes

Toppings vary by household — onion, olives and anchovy all appear.

The dimples hold the oil, which is most of the flavour.

Context

Buccheri, in the Iblei hills of Sicily, is known for cudduruni, a flat baked bread that appears in both plain and topped versions.
