Fugazzeta - Argentinian Stuffed PizzaIt has been estimated about 50% of the population of Argentina is of Italian dissent. Who knew? Fugazzeta is a double crusted or stuffed version of the popular Fugazza, an onion topped pizza similar to focaccia. This 15" fugazzeta is stuffed with mozarella, ham, and provolone, topped with another crust, and mounded with vertically sliced onions that have been soaked in salted water, mixed with extra virgin olive oil, cheese and oregano. It is covered with 3 large onions. They made layer of onion easily an inch thick over the entire pie Fugazzeta assembled On the cooker at 450ºF 30 minutes later... done One slice per person is enough I was worried about the amount of onion but that wasn't a problem. The charred bits added a lot of flavor. Dat cheese though. A lot of cheese and some recipes I came upon, authentic recipes written in Spanish, call for the addition of cream cheese to the mozzarella and provolone. I'll cut the amount in half next time. Argentinians must really like onions and cheese. After eating this pie, I guess I do too. Maybe I'll leave it alone after all.
