Mixed-Olive Tapenade Pizza
- Two 1/2-pound balls of Pizza Dough or thawed frozen pizza or bread dough
- Flour, for dusting and rolling
- 3/4 pound mixed black and green olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
- 2 anchovy fillets, mashed
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and crushed red pepper
- Set a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet in the bottom third of the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 550, allowing at least 30 minutes for the stone to heat.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll 1 ball of dough into a 6-inch round.
- Turn the edges of the dough up slightly to form a lip, then stretch the dough out to a 10-inch round.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured pizza peel or upside-down baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, combine the olives, anchovy fillets, garlic, rosemary and 2 tablespoons of the extra-virgin olive oil.
- Season the tapenade with kosher salt and crushed red pepper.
- Brush the pizza dough with 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and slide it onto the hot stone.
- Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden and crisp; poke the dough to deflate any bubbles while baking.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and spread half of the tapenade over it to within 1/2 inch of the rim.
- Bake the pizza for 2 minutes longer, or until the crust is golden and crisp.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges or squares.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and tapenade.
