Preparation
-
1.In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
-
2.Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes 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.In the meantime, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they become soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
-
4.Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions.
-
5.Roll out one portion of the dough into a circle, about 12 inches in diameter. Place it on a greased baking sheet.
-
6.Spread half of the caramelized onions evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan cheese on top. Season with dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
-
7.Roll out the second portion of the dough into a circle of the same size. Place it on top of the cheese and onion layer, sealing the edges by pressing them together.
-
8.Brush the top of the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and dried oregano.
-
9.Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
10.Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Onions — Make sure to slice the onions thinly for even caramelization.
- Mozzarella, Provolone, and Parmesan cheese — Use high-quality cheeses for the best flavor and melting properties.
- Dough — Allow the dough to rise until doubled in size for a light and fluffy texture.
Tips & Tricks
- For a twist, add sliced bell peppers or olives to the filling.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations to suit your taste.
- Serve with a side of chimichurri sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
- Enjoy Fugazzeta Rellena with a glass of Malbec wine for an authentic Argentinian experience.
