Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 475°F. Stretch the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 12x8 inches, and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil.

  2. 2

    Bake the pizza bianca dough directly on a hot baking stone or sheet for 12-15 minutes until golden and puffed; cool completely before cutting.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic and rosemary, sautéing for 1 minute to release aroma.

  4. 4

    Add chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper, and brown on both sides for 6-8 minutes. Add canned tomatoes, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes until chicken is tender.

  5. 5

    Stir in cooked cannellini beans and fresh spinach, simmering just until spinach wilts. Shred chicken and mix it thoroughly into the stew.

  6. 6

    Slice the baked pizza bianca into large triangles and carefully open each into a pocket. Fill generously with hot chicken-bean stew and pieces of mozzarella cheese.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately while the bread is crisp and cheese is melting.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this Best Easy Trapizzino Recipe?
The core ingredients that define Trapizzino are the pizza dough for that iconic crispy pocket and the savory Roman stew filling made with chicken thighs, cannellini beans, and tomatoes. The mozzarella adds creaminess and rounds out the classic Roman street food flavor.
Q. How do I make sure the pizza bianca pocket stays crisp and doesn't get soggy?
Bake the pizza dough until golden and allow it to cool fully before slicing. Fill with hot stew just before serving, as cooling helps the bread keep its crisp structure and prevents sogginess from the filling's moisture.

Slow simmering the chicken thighs with tomatoes over low heat for about 40 minutes ensures the meat is juicy and easily shredded. Adding the beans and spinach at the end preserves their texture while keeping the filling moist.
