Ingredients

• 250 g all-purpose flour
• 7 g active dry yeast
• 150 ml warm water
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 large yellow onions
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tsp fresh thyme
• 12 pieces anchovy fillets
• 12 pieces black olives (pitted)
• 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, and salt together. Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and mix until a dough forms.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 3

While the dough is rising, prepare the topping. Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. In a large skillet, melt the butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the onions to the skillet, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and cook on low heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply caramelized and golden brown. Add the fresh thyme and freshly ground black pepper, and stir well.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle or circle about 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8

Arrange the anchovy fillets in a crisscross pattern over the onions. Place a black olive in the center of each diamond-shaped section created by the anchovies.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp.

Step 10

Remove the Pissaladiere from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
