Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
- 150 ml Warm water
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 6 medium Yellow onions
- 12 pieces Anchovy fillets
- 12 pieces Black olives (Niçoise or Kalamata)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and 30 ml of olive oil. Mix until the dough comes together, then knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the onion topping. Peel and thinly slice the onions. Heat the remaining 30 ml of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-35 minutes until deeply caramelized.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle, approximately 30 x 20 cm, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange the anchovy fillets and black olives on top of the onions in a decorative pattern. Sprinkle with thyme and black pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
Allow the pissaladière to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
