Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Prepare the necessary ingredients.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, heat 50 ml of olive oil.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions, thyme leaves, whole garlic cloves, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Cook the onions over low heat for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 30 minutes of cooking, remove the garlic, finely chop it, and return it to the saucepan.

Step 5

Meanwhile, for the dough, mix warm water, yeast, sugar, and the remaining olive oil. Add flour and salt, then knead the dough.

Step 6

Knead it well until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Gently roll out the dough, then shape it into a rectangle with your hands and place it on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.

Step 8

Place the onions on the dough, leaving a 2-3 inch border around the edge.

Step 9

Place the anchovies and olives on the onions. Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil.

Step 10

Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated oven at 445°F.
