Ingredients
Ingredients for the base
- 400 g Flour no need to sieve
- 25 g fresh yeast from the bakery
- 25 cl lukewarm water
- 25 Tbsp olive oil
Ingredients for the topping
- 1 kg Onions finely sliced
- 70-100 g anchovies fillets
- a few black olives preferably pizza olives
- Provence herbs
Instructions
- Mix the flour, yeast and warm water in a large bowl and knead it into a stiff dough.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and mix into the dough. NB: this may seem unusual for people who make normal pizza dough, but it’s a necessary step!
- Form the dough into a ball and sprinkle lightly with flour. Cover the bowl with a dishcloth and let it rise for an hour.
- Peel and slice the onions finely.
- Take a deep frying pan that has a lid and add a splash of olive oil.
- Gently sweat off the onions without browning them. Stir them periodically, but keep them covered to create an unctuous soft mixture, adding a bit of water or more oil as needed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- When the onions are cooked, let them cool down completely.
- Preheat the oven to 180 deg C.
- Place baking paper on the baking sheet, or add some flour.
- When the dough has risen, spread it out evenly to take the shape of the baking sheet. Use a rolling pin, or a wine bottle, to roll it into the corners.
- Let the dough rest for a few minutes so it rises to about 1cm.
- Spread the cooled onions evenly over the surface of the dough.
- Add the sliced anchovies and olives.
- Sprinkle Provence herbs over the top, or add fresh sprigs of thyme and finely cut rosemary.
- Bake the pizza in the oven for 30 min.
