These super savory and salty fish make for the perfect pizza topping, especially when balanced with loads of fresh parsley!
Ingredients
½ lb pizza dough, home made or pre-prepared (Trader Joe's makes a good one)
6-8 anchovy filets, to taste, plus oil
6 oz mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced or shredded
3 cups fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to as hot as it will go - usually around 550. If you are using a pizza stone, which is preferable, preheat this as well. If you don't have a pizza stone you can use a baking sheet, also preheated.
On a well floured surface, stretch and roll your your pizza dough to ¼ inch thick disc around 12 inches in diameter.
Assemble your pizza: Brush 1 tablespoon anchovy oil on dough, followed by even spread of pizza sauce. Follow with anchovy filets, evenly distributed, and sliced mozzarella cheese.
Using a pizza peel or the back of a cookie sheet, transfer your assembled pizza to the preheated baking surface. Bake for 5 minutes, then check and spin the pizza. Cook for another 5-10 minutes or longer if necessary, depending on the temperature of the oven, until the crust is browned and cheese is melted.
Top pizza with fresh parsley and return to oven until parsley is wilted, 1 minute. Allow to cool and serve.
