Ingredients

  • 3 bell peppers (mixed colors), thinly sliced
  • 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly oil a baking sheet or pan.
  2. In a large pan, sauté the sliced onions in a bit of olive oil over medium heat until soft and lightly caramelized. Add the bell peppers and cook for another 5–7 minutes until slightly tender. Let cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, water, olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs until you get a smooth, thin batter.
  4. Stir in the cooked peppers and onions, along with the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until everything is well coated.
  5. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it thinly and evenly (this is key for that authentic texture).
  6. Drizzle a little extra olive oil on top.
  7. Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
  8. Let it cool slightly, then slice into squares or strips and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

  • Slice the vegetables very thin for the best texture.
  • For extra flavor, add a few anchovies or olives to the batter.
  • Use a large pan to keep the layer thin—this is what gives scarpaccia its signature crispiness.
