Instructions
- If you want to make homemade dough, follow this recipe, and you’ll need about 45 minutes to get it ready.
- Preheat the oven to 500°F.
- Drain anchovies from the oil. Test them, and give them a quick rinse under cold water if you find they’re too salty. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Get other ingredients ready. Cut mozzarella cheese into small cubes, and cut the red onion into thin slices. Set aside capers and olives.
- Stretch the dough by gently flattening the dough ball into a 12-inch (30cm) circle. Transfer it to a non-stick pizza pan or baking sheet. Use a fork to poke holes across the surface of the dough.
- Brush the dough lightly with olive oil. Using a large spoon, add the tomato sauce onto the pizza dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Spread the sauce evenly and thinly with the back of the spoon. Add cubed mozzarella, distributing it evenly over the entire surface. Add sliced olives, red onions, and capers on top of the cheese. (Don’t add anchovies at this step).
- Par-bake for 6 minutes.
- Take the pizza out and add anchovies. Bake for another 4-6 minutes until the cheese is melted, and the crust is golden brown. (You’ll know it’s ready when the cheese is bubbling and the crust is getting golden!)
- Remove the pizza carefully from the oven, and transfer it to a wooden cutting board. Garnish with grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes
- * If you use a store-bought refrigerated dough, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 1 hour before stretching.
- ** To make homemade tomato sauce, simply mix together 1/2 cup pureed canned tomatoes, 2 tsp minced garlic, 1/2 tsp olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
