Your New Favorite Cheesy Stuffed Pizza | Ham El-Waylly’s Argentinian Fugazzeta | NYT Cooking

You can really see the influence of Italian immigrants in Argentinian pizza culture: They brought focaccia with them, which morphed into a focaccia-pizza hybrid known as fugazza, a thick pizza topped with cheese and shaved onions. This got dialed up a few notches to become fugazzeta, which Ham El-Waylly shows us how to make.

In a fugazzeta, two pizza crusts are sandwiched around cheese before being crimped shut and topped with a heap of thinly sliced onions. The onions might seem like overkill, but don’t skimp: They soften and char, providing a nice reprieve from all the molten cheese.

I have been pitching a fugazzeta recipe for YEARS! I was ignored, told it was weird, and said it wouldn't "jive" with readers. Behold 5 years later the second human broadcasting this recipe! Thank you for putting this out there. Hail to the Italian-Argentine community!

It’s funny to see how Ham and Sohla have rubbed off on each other with the way they talk (the “woah” in particular). It’s so cute. The recipe looks amazing too.

Hi, still here asking for proper CCs. the auto generated ones always have errors and omissions and are insufficient access for those who need them.

I’m notoriously bad at leaving comments, but just made this and it was Incredible. My whole family is speechless.

[FightingIrishFan]

I could listen to Ham say Fugazzeta all day

[shanehagan]

M O R E H A Can't wait to try this recipe!

As an Argentinian, reaaaally loved this recipe!! Nothing like a cheesy, oniony fugazzeta !!

[lewiiable]

YES! The scream I scrumpt when I saw Fugazetta finally being shown. My partner is Argentinian and I lept up to tell them about this video.

For anyone watching tempted to try this, please know that the amount of cheese in a fugazetta is no joke. Take the amount of cheese you think is in one and quadruple it.

Ham and Cheese -- what's not to love?

I am here for all the sass and the shade Ham throws. Gosh, I love him.

I've watched a lot of different chefs over the years. Ham and Sohla are two of the best I've ever had the pleasure of watching. So happy, joyful. Love seeing these two!

Love it, making this Argentine proud. More Ham please.

Late to Ham's video, but him saying "WOW, we did it" is the cutest thing.

Love seeing more of Ham! Everything he makes is something I never even thought about before.

I love that I got an ad just as Ham is about to throw the dough. It really set the suspense.
