Ingredients

  • 300 g flour
  • 21 g yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar (dusted)
  • 1 kg onions
  • 50 ml oil
  • 1 tsp bean herb (dry; chopped)
  • 3 tsp thyme (dry)
  • 30 anchovy fillets (in oil)
  • 100 g olives (black, pitted)
  • Salt
  • ground pepper
  • flour (for working)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Combine all dough ingredients in a bowl, add 200 ml lukewarm water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume.

  2. 2.

    Meanwhile peel the onions and finely slice or dice them; sauté in oil over low heat, stirring frequently to keep the onions from browning, then season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3.

    Roll out the dough and lay it on a well‑oiled baking sheet, letting it rest for about 20 minutes. Spread the onions over the dough, sprinkle with herbs, and decorate with drained anchovy fillets and olives. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C for about 20–30 minutes; cover with foil if needed. Serve hot or cold.
