Pizza scima

Pizza scima is a traditional flatbread originating from Abruzzo. It's made with a combination of wheat flour, olive oil, water, and salt. Some recipes call for white wine as well. Diamond shapes are etched into the top of the dough, which is subsequently drizzled with olive oil and baked in a coppo (ember-covered concave lid).


The name of this flatbread means silly pizza, referring to the fact that it's made without yeast. Once baked, pizza scima should be fragrant with a crunchy crust. It's usually served as a replacement for bread during meals and is meant to be eaten as it is, without any toppings.
