Pissaladière
Makes one 12-inch “pizza”
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 pounds onions, halved and thinly
sliced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon dried thyme
3 anchovies, finely chopped
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
12 Niçoise olives, pitted and sliced in
half
Place butter in large 12-inch sauté pan over
low heat. Once melted, stir in the sliced
onions, salt, sugar, and dried thyme. Cook
over low heat, stirring occasionally until
onions are soft and melted, approximately 50
to 60 minutes. It is important to maintain low
heat so the onions stay light in color.
Preheat the Cuisinart
™
Pizza Oven, fitted with
the pizza stone, for 30 minutes. Coat the
pizza mesh with cooking spray.
Combine chopped anchovies and olive oil
and reserve.
Once onions have finished cooking, roll out
pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Place on
pizza mesh and stretch dough to fit.
Brush the entire surface of the dough with
the anchovy oil. Top with onions, leaving a 1-
inch border around the outside. Place olive
halves evenly over onions.
If desired, extra anchovies can be laid in Xs
on the top of the pie as well.
