White Anchovy, Tomato, and Spicy Fresno Chiles
- 8 marinated white anchovies
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Zested strips of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 round of Nancys Pizza Dough (page 126)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Passata di Pomodoro (page 25) or tomato sauce
- 1 heaping tablespoon Roasted Fresno Chiles (page 140)
- 1 teaspoon thinly sliced fresh Italian parsley leaves
- Finishing-quality extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 tablespoon
- To prepare the anchovies, lift them out of the brine they are packed in, discard the brine, and put them in a small bowl.
- Add the olive oil, lemon zest, parsley, and red pepper flakes, and gently toss to combine the ingredients, taking care not to tear the anchovies.
- Use the anchovies on the pizza or line them in a single row in an airtight container, drizzle with the seasonings, and refrigerate until you are ready to use them or for up to three days.
- To make the pizza, prepare and stretch the dough and preheat the oven according to the instructions given in Nancys Scuola di Pizza (page 128).
- Brush the rim of the dough with olive oil and season the entire surface with salt.
- Ladle or spoon the sauce onto the center of the dough and use the back of the ladle or spoon in a circular motion to spread the sauce over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch rim without any sauce.
- Scatter the chiles over the pizza, slide the pizza into the oven, and bake until the crust is golden brown and crispy, 8 to 12 minutes.
- Remove the pizza from the oven, cut it into quarters, and drape two anchovies on each quadrant, coiling one anchovy around the other.
- Sprinkle the parsley over the anchovies, drizzle the finishing-quality olive oil over the entire pizza, and serve.
