OLD WORLD COOKING IN A NEW WORLD

FUGAZI IS AN OLD REFERNECE USED TO DESCRIBE A SOFT AND CHEWY PIZZA LIKE BREAD. A BREAD THAT CONTAINS MANY TINY AIR BUBBLES. CREATED BY THE CO2 GAS FROM THE YEAST RISING. DERIVED FROM “FAUX GAZ”. ALSO A SLANG FOR A FAKE DIAMOND WHICH CAN BE DISTINGUISHED BY THE MINUTE GAS BUBBLES TRAPPED INSIDE.

GREAT GRAND DAD MOLLICONE WAS A BAKER IN OLD CONTRY ITALY. HE WAS AN ARTISAN OF BREADS, AND THE NEAPOLITAN STYLE OF BAKING. HIS RECIPES AND METHODS OF BAKING HAVE BEEN PASSED DOWN THROUGH GENERATIONS, AND DEMONSTRATED HERE TODAY AT FUGAZI WOODFIRE PIZZA.
