Ingredients

How to make it

  • For the topping, heat the olive oil in a very large saute pan and cook
  • the onions, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic over low heat for 45 minutes,until the onions are sweet and cooked but not browned.
  • Toss the onions from time to time.
  • After 30 minutes, take out the garlic, chop it roughly, and
  • add it back to the onions.
  • Meanwhile, for the dough, combine the water, yeast, honey, and olive oil in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook.
  • (If the bowl is cold, start with warmer water so it's at least 100 degrees F when you add the yeast.) Add 3 cups of the flour, then the salt, and mix on medium-low speed. While mixing, add 1 more cup of flour, or just enough to
  • make a soft dough. Mix the dough on medium-low speed for about 10 minutes,until smooth, sprinkling it with flour to keep it from sticking to the bowl.
  • When the dough is ready, turn it out onto a floured board and knead it by hand a dozen times. It should be smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl and turn it to cover lightly with oil.
  • Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel.
  • Allow to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Divide the dough into 2 equal parts, rolling each 1 into a smooth ball.
  • If you're only making 1 pissaladiere, place 1 ball on a baking sheet and
  • cover it loosely with a damp towel. Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes.
  • (If you're not using the other dough, wrap it well and refrigerate or freeze it
  • for the next time.)
  • Roll the dough lightly with a rolling pin, then stretch it to a 10 by 15-inch
  • rectangle and place it on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.
  • Spoon the onion topping onto the dough, leaving a 3/4-inch border all around.
  • Artfully arrange the anchovies and olives on top, brush the edge of the dough
  • with olive oil, and bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is crisp.
  • Serve hot on a cutting board.
