Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Lay dough on the prepared pan. Prick all over with a fork to prevent puffing.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.

  4. Step 4

    Add sliced onions with a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally until deep golden and very soft, 12–14 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Spread caramelized onions evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.

  6. Step 6

    Arrange anchovies in a crosshatch pattern over the onions. Scatter olives evenly.

  7. Step 7

    Bake until crust is golden brown and edges crisp, 6–8 minutes.

  8. Step 8

    Remove from oven. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

  9. Step 9

    Cool 2 minutes. Cut into squares or rectangles. Serve warm or at room temperature.
