Preparation
-
1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
-
2.Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
-
3.Meanwhile, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until caramelized, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes.
-
4.In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
-
5.Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
-
6.Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Using your hands, press the dough evenly to cover the baking sheet.
-
7.Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the dough. Drizzle the soy sauce mixture on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
8.Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
-
9.Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro. Slice and serve hot.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Ginger — To easily grate ginger, use the edge of a spoon to scrape off the skin, then grate using a fine grater or a microplane.
- Cilantro — If you're not a fan of cilantro, you can substitute it with fresh parsley for a different herbaceous flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of heat, sprinkle some sliced red chili peppers on top before baking.
- Experiment with different toppings such as sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, or shredded chicken to add variety to your Latin American Chinese Fugazza.
- Serve with a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping.
Serving advice
Serve the Latin American Chinese Fugazza hot, straight from the oven. It can be enjoyed as a main dish accompanied by a fresh salad or cut into smaller pieces as an appetizer for sharing.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, sprinkle some chopped fresh cilantro on top of the Fugazza just before serving. The vibrant green color will add a pop of freshness to the dish.
