Ingredients

  • 1 lb store-bought pizza dough or puff pastry sheet
  • 1.5 lb yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 10 fillets anchovy fillets in oil
  • ¾ cup Niçoise olives or other dark olives
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Lay dough on the prepared pan. Prick all over with a fork to prevent puffing.

  3. 3

    Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.

  4. 4

    Add sliced onions with a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally until deep golden and very soft, 12–14 minutes.

  5. 5

    Spread caramelized onions evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.

  6. 6

    Arrange anchovies in a crosshatch pattern over the onions. Scatter olives evenly.

  7. 7

    Bake until crust is golden brown and edges crisp, 6–8 minutes.

  8. 8

    Remove from oven. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

  9. 9

    Cool 2 minutes. Cut into squares or rectangles. Serve warm or at room temperature.
