Ingredients

  • For the Dough:
  • 2 lb. flour
  • 2 oz. fresh active yeast or 3 envelopes of dry yeast
  • pinch of salt
  • water
  • (Or buy 2 lb. of bread dough in your local Italian bakery)
  • For the Stuffing:
  • 5 medium onions, sliced ¼ of inch
  • ½ cup of olive oil
  • 1 can, 28 oz. Italian peeled tomatoes
  • 4 cups boiled potatoes, sliced or chopped, about 1¼ lbs. raw
  • salt and pepper
  • 10 salted filleted anchovies, rinsed (optional)
  • ½ cup of grated caciocavallo cheese
  • ½ cup of diced caciocavallo cheese
  • ½ cup of breadcrumbs
  • ¼ teaspoon of oregano
  • Greased baking pan 13 X 8
  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil for baking

Directions

1

For the Dough:

2

In a bowl mix ½ cup of warm water with the yeast.

3

Add ½ cup of flour, mix until it is well blended and a soft dough is obtained. If it is too dry add some water, if it is too watery add some flour.

4

Set aside covered in a warm place.

5

After 45 minutes to 1 hour combine the risen dough with the remaining flour, add some lukewarm water, a pinch of salt and knead to obtain an elastic dough, similar to bread dough. Make a ball, cut across the top to allow it to rise again, cover and put in a warm place until it almost doubles in size, 1 to 2 hours.

6

For the Stuffing:

7

In a 4 qt. saucepan, over a medium flame, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil with the onions and add a pinch of salt. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the onions release their liquid. Place onion in a colander to drain the cooking liquids.

8

In a 4 qt. saucepan, over a medium flame heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil with the drained onions and sauté for 5 minutes or until the onions are light golden in color, stirring frequently.

9

Meanwhile drain peeled tomatoes, cut them in half and eliminate some seeds.

10

Add the tomatoes to the onion.

11

Lower heat to low, add salt and pepper and simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Set on the side. If it results too moist, drain the liquid.

12

To Assemble:

13

When dough is ready, split it in 2 pieces. Briefly knead each piece and roll one to cover the greased baking pan 13 X 8. Making sure that the dough goes a little over the edge of the pan.

14

Pour the onion-tomato sauce into the pan and evenly spread the potatoes, and grated cheese over it. Push into the sauce the diced caciocavallo and the anchovies; sprinkle the oregano uniformly.

15

Moisten the edge of the impanata with water and knead the other piece of dough, roll and place it on the top. Seal it well and pinch it all around to make sure it is firmly sealed.

16

With a fork pinch a few holes on top to permit the vapor to escape.

17

Make some indentations with your finger on top of the cuddiruni, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of olive oil, shake over the breadcrumbs and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil on top of the breadcrumbs.

18

Preheat oven at 400 degrees, bake for 15 minutes, rotate it and continue baking for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until light golden brown.

19

Serve hot.
