Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups flour
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp honey or sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 red onions sliced
- 42 oz San Marzano tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 8 anchovy fillets
- ½ pound Caciocavallo cheese
- 1 Tbsp dried oregano
- 1 ½ cups breadcrumbs
Equipment
- Large bowl
- Baking sheet
- cutting board or other flat surface
- wooden spoon or spatula
- skillet or saute pan
- stand mixer optional
Instructions
- To make the dough, combine the yeast, water, and sugar in a large bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes, it should begin to froth and activate.
- Now add the flour and salt and stir in. Remove from the bowl and knead the dough on a lightly-floured flat surface until the dough is smooth.
- Place the dough in a large bowl, cover the clean towels, and set aside in a warm place to rise for three hours.
- While the dough is rising, heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Sauté the onions until soft, about 5-8 minutes. Set half the onions aside to use as toppings and keep the remaining onions in the pan.
- Add the tomatoes and garlic to the pan and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes. If you still have whole tomatoes, smash them to make into a thick sauce. Add the oregano to the sauce and remove it from the heat to cool.
- Once the dough is ready, press it into a rimmed sheet tray that has been covered with a light coating of olive oil.
- Place the anchovy fillets on the dough then sprinkle the top with the cooked onions.
- Coat the pizza with the tomato sauce and then evenly sprinkle on a thick layer of grated cheese.
- Add the breadcrumbs over the entire surface of the pizza then place it in a preheated 450° F oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the pizza dough has risen and the breadcrumbs are golden and the crust is lightly browned.
- Slice and enjoy!
