Anchovy pizza recipe

Ingredients

  • 30g unsalted butter
  • 6 onions, finely sliced on a mandoline
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 4-5 sprigs of thyme
  • 25g anchovies
  • 50g olives

PRE-FERMENT

  • 150g strong white bread flour
  • ¼ tsp dried fast-action yeast

PIZZA DOUGH

  • 300g strong white bread flour
  • ½ tsp dried fast-action yeast
  • 2 tsp sea salt flakes

THYME HONEY

  • 4 tbsp honey
  • 3 sprigs of thyme

Method

  • STEP 1

    Start making the pre-ferment the night before. Mix 150ml of tepid water, 150g flour and the yeast in a small bowl. Cover with a tea towel and leave overnight.

  • STEP 2

    The next day, mix the pre-ferment with 300g of flour, 120ml of warm water, the yeast and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on medium speed until a dough forms, then transfer to an oiled bowl and leave to rise for 1-2 hrs or until doubled in size.

  • STEP 3

    Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large pan over a medium heat. Once foaming, cook the onions, garlic and thyme over a medium-low heat for 45 mins-1 hr, stirring every so often, until jammy and caramelised. Remove from the heat.

  • STEP 4

    Split the dough into four balls. Roll out onto a floured worksurface until round and evenly thick. Heat a frying pan on a high heat and heat the grill to high. Drizzle some oil into the frying pan, then cook one of the dough balls for 5-6 mins or until the base is cooked and puffy.

  • STEP 5

    Spread 3 tbsp of the onions onto the base of the pizza, then lay on some anchovies and olives. Cook under the grill for 3-5 mins or until the crust is bubbling and slightly charred.

  • STEP 6

    For the thyme honey, gently melt together the thyme and honey in a small pan, before drizzling over the cooked pizzas.
