Ingredients
For crust*
- 3 1/2 cups flour you can also use a bit of whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup olive oil + 1-2 tablespoons for brushing pan
- 1 ounce fresh yeast or 1/3 ounce dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup water
For topping
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 1 large or 2 medium onions
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- Olive Oil for drizzling
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Empty flour in a large bowl, add the sugar, salt and yeast and mix.
- Add the olive oil and mix with a spoon. Now start adding the water mixing until you have a thick dough.
- Place the dough and knead for about 5 minutes adding more water or flour as needed until you have dough that is uniform and is not sticking to your hands.
- Place the dough in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour.
- Preheat the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 Celsius).
- When dough is ready, drizzle some oil on the bottom of a round pan that is about 14-15 inches diameter (or you can use smaller and divide into 2 pans). Spread the dough with your hands so it covers the whole pan. Brush again with olive oil.
- Chop the onions in medium size pieces and place in bowl, add about a teaspoon of olive oil and add the tomato paste and mix, until all the pieces are covered.
- Make little dents in the dough with your fingers and spread the onions.
- Cut the tomatoes in thin slices and then cut in half or in quarters depending the size of the tomatoes and place on top of the onions. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, add freshly ground pepper and a bit of kosher salt.
- Bake in the oven for about 50 minutes on the lower rack.
Notes
- *On some occasions I have made the crust without yeast because I didn’t have any plus it is quicker. The crust is not as fluffy but still very delicious. So if you are short on time check the recipe for yeastless crust.
