Pizza and Rice Balls! Italian Food Cooking Vlog | Ep 2

Hi! Chef Sal is back! Join me for some delicious homemade Italian food with my funny in-laws. Dive into our kitchen chaos as my in-laws teach me (and you!) how to cook up some homemade Italian goodness, featuring rice balls (a.k.a arancini) and pizza that’s hotter than Nonna’s temper.

This isn’t your average pizza though; We make Scaccia Ragusana (cousin to the stromboli and similar to a pizza babka), a specific kind of Sicilian pizza that is made in the providence of Ragusa. We show you how to make it from scratch-from the dough to the sauce! This isn’t just a typical cooking video- it’s the fun banter with my hilarious in-laws that makes cooking a blast. We are serving up a dish of laugher and love. Hungry for humor? Join the fun with family, grab a slice, sip on some limoncello, and let’s mangia together!
