Ingredients
Onion Filling:
- 6 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves or 3 teaspoon dried thyme
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 8 anchovies, packed in oil
- 16 olives, pitted (recommended: nicoise)
- 1 pound fresh pizza dough
Directions
To make the onion filling:
In a large saute pan, cook the onions with salt in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat until very soft and caramelized, about 30 minutes. Add the minced garlic and thyme and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Season the onions with salt, and pepper, to taste. Cook's Note: Slightly under salt to account for the salt from the anchovies and olives.
To assemble:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Stretch the dough into a long rectangle and place on a greased baking sheet. It should almost fit the size of the baking sheet. Spread the onion mixture on the dough, leaving a small border. Arrange the anchovies and olives decoratively over the onions. Brush the exposed dough with the remaining olive oil and bake in the hot oven until golden and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.

This was great! I wasn't sure about the anchovies so I only put them on half but they were fantastic. It was a nice alternative to the usual sauce and cheese pizza that we're all used to. I added white wine to the onions so they took a lot longer to finish (about 50 min. I also added herb de providence to the thyme and I loved it. I'll definitely make this again!

I loved this unique recipe. I had never had anchovies previously and let me tell you..I am now a fan. No need to hesitant, just try them. They add an element of earthy saltiness with a hit of the sea. I'll admit I was skeptic of all the onions and had to use two pans to saute all of them, but all six are a necessity. Bon Appetite.

thanks riverwilson for the tip on the pizza dough at Foggia's. I get deli sandwiches there all the time.
