Serves 6

Ingredients

Method

75 ml. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 kg. Onion (Finely Chopped)
5 Garlic (Chopped)
30 ml. Water
¼ tsp. Salt to Taste
400 g. Bread Dough (Recipe can be found in the recipe listings )
18 Anchovy Fillets in oil
130 g. Olives (Black Pitted)

In a large heavy based frying pan add 60ml oil and over a low heat add the garlic and the onions and cook until the onions are a light brown colour. This is usually around 8 - 10 minutes.

Add the water and salt to the onions, stir through and cover. Cook very slowly for 25-30 minutes until the onions are translucent and very soft. If the mixture becomes dry and is beginning to stick to the pan during the cooking time add a little more water.

Preheat the oven to 425ºF 7 215ºC. Grease a baking sheet 35 x 22cm.

Gently roll out the dough to almost the size of the baking dish. Scatter the onions all over the top of the dough. Make a lattice pattern on the top with the anchovies and place an olive in the centre of each square.

Sprinkle the final 15ml of oil over the top and bake in the oven for 28-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

This can be served hot or warm cut into triangles or squares.
