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
fresh herbs from Provence

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.

Maison Mirabeau Wine

Stephen had been in the corporate world for 15 years and in August 2008 turned down a promotion that would have meant more money but also more stress, longer hours and less time with his young family. For many years the Cronks had been dreaming and talking about moving to France to make their own wine, but the moment never seemed quite right to make the big leap.

Soon after, a good redundancy offer seemed the perfect opportunity to turn the dream into reality and after selling their beloved house, they left the leafy suburbs of south-west London in August 2009. Their worldly possessions were packed up on the back of a truck and with barely a word of French between them, the family headed south to a small village called Cotignac, in the heart of Provence.

The Cronks spent a year getting their bearings, learning to live the provençal way, as Stephen was criss-crossing the country researching and finding the best vineyards to work with. The next step was setting up a small wine business with the principle objective of making a Provence rosé that would be regarded as one of the very best from the region, while building a brand that people would grow to love. In order to achieve this aim, they put together a highly experienced winemaking team and threw their heart and soul into the brand and innovative communications with their customers. Mirabeau is now being sold in more than 30 markets, has won medals and earned acclaim from some of the world’s toughest wine critics, but what really makes Stephen happiest is that their wines are an integral part of people having a great time together.
