Ingredients

  • 250 g Pizza Dough
  • 5 tbsp tomato puree
  • 5 - 8 Anchovies in oil
  • 5 or 6 Capers
  • 5 Black Olives

Instructions

  • Make pizza dough using this recipe  (click on the words "using this recipe" to find the recipe.  For some reason I can't make it blue!) or use store-bought dough. Note: making the dough will take an overnight rising so start the day before you want to eat the pizza.
  • If you have a wood-fired pizza oven, make the fire and wait for it to heat up.  If using an indoor oven, use a pizza stone and place it on a rack in the top third of the oven.  Heat the oven to its highest temperature for at least 45 minutes before putting the pizza in to cook.
  • Spread out the pizza dough with your fingers on a floured surface that you can use to slide the pizza off straight into the oven.
  • Add the tomato puree and spread it over the base with the back of a spoon.
  • Sprinkle the pizza with anchovies, capers and olives. Note: do not add salt if you have used the recipe on this blog for making the dough.  there is already enough salt in the dough.
  • Bake in the oven.  In a indoor oven, bake the pizza for about 6 minutes.  In a wood-fired oven, bake it for approximately 2 - 3 minutes, turning it by quarter turns every few seconds so that it cooks evenly.
  • Eat immediately.
