- Prepare the scallions by cleaning then, washing them and cutting them into pieces of 1 1/2" long.
- In a large pot add 4 Tbs of EV olive oil, the scallions, the tomatoes and the olives and the wine.
- Add salt and hot pepper to taste.
- Let the scallions cook at medium heat for about 15 mins.
- Remove from the stove, drain the juices and let cool off well.
- In a bowl add the flour, the oil and the wine (lukewarm). Also add a pinch of salt.
- Cut the dough in half. Take one half and with a rolling pin flatten it into a thin round sheet of dough large enough to cover the bottom of your baking pan (12" wide). Before you lay the dough in the pan, apply a very thin film of EV olive oil to the pan. Position the dough in the pan and then spread the scallions uniformly on the dough. Keep the scallions within 1/2' from the border of the dough. Spread the anchovies over the scallions.
- Take the other half of the dough and flatten it with the rolling pin into a round sheet that you will use the cover the scallions. Once you place the dough over the scallions cut any excess dough and with a fork seal the two sheets of dough together.
- With your fingers, apply a thin film of EV olive oil over the entire surface of the scalcione. Then, with a fork, puncture the surface every 2" and bake for 60 mins. at 400F.
