To assemble:
Roll out the dough as thin as you can in a circle, like a pizza. Top with a small amount of tomato sauce. Add a small amount of preferred filling. Now, carefully fold the two edges to meet in the middle. Then fold it in half again trying to pat out the air as you go. Seal the edges so it doesn't leak. Rub olive oil over dough. Bake in oven 350º until nicely browned. Rub dough with butter when it comes out of the oven.

Personal Notes:
This is a Guccione Christmas Eve family tradition. We would all anxiously wait for the scotches to come out of the oven and pass them around the room. I remember Grandma Guccione always crossing the dough and setting them on the guest room bed to rise.
