Fennel And Anchovy Pizza
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 fennel bulb, cored and sliced thin
- a few spoonfuls flour
- 1 ball pizza dough (see link below for No-Knead)
- a few spoonfuls coarse cornmeal
- 2-3 oz mozzarella cheese slices
- 2-3 anchovy fillets, torn into pieces
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- a few cracks freshly ground pepper
- 8-10 one-inch pinched fennel fronds
- Preheat oven to 500u0b0 F. If you have a pizza stone, stick it in the oven.
- In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add fennel slices and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned. Remove from heat.
- With floured hands over a floured surface, stretch or toss (if you know how) the dough until it is 10-12", taking care not to stretch it too thin. Uneven is okay, this dough makes a rustic crust. No need to aim for a perfect circle either. Press small thumbprints around the crust and brush with remaining tablespoon olive oil.
- Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal and transfer the crust over. Re-shape if it's gone askew. Top with the mozzarella slices, fennel, and anchovy. Slide onto the pizza stone, or place baking sheet in oven.
- Cook until crust looks golden brown and cheese is bubbling, 6-10 minutes. When ready, carefully pull from the oven, top with lemon zest, a few cracks of pepper and the fennel fronds. Slice and serve.
