If you've never topped your pizza with olives and onions, you are missing out. This olive pizza with red onions is made with my no-fail homemade pizza dough that gives a beautiful crisp edge and my 5-minute pizza sauce. Easy, peasy.
Ingredients
Makes 2 x 12-inch Thick crust or 3 x 10-inch thin crust pizzas
½cupSliced OlivesFresh black olives and kalamata olives
1small Red onointhinly sliced
Instructions
Mix the Dough: Combine the flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the warm water, yeast, sugar, and olive oil and combine well. Knead the dough on a floured work surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use the dough hook attachment on your stand mixer.
325 grams Warm water - 100℉/38℃, 15 g Sugar, 15 g Olive oil, 7 g Instant dry yeast, 9 g Salt, 500 g All-purpose flour
Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.
Preheat the Oven: Place your pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 475°F (245°C). Let the stone heat up for at least 30 minutes.
Divide: Punch down the dough and divide it into 2 or 3 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for 10 minutes. On a floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, about 10-12 inches in diameter.
Assemble: Sprinkle a pizza peel or parchment paper with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Place the dough on the peel or paper. Spread an even layer of homemade pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add sliced black olives, kalamata olives, and red onion slices. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top.
1 cup Pizza sauce, 50 g Parmesan cheese , 250 g Mozzarella cheese , ½ cup Sliced Olives, 1 small Red onoin
Bake the Pizza: Slide the pizza onto the hot stone in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Finish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven. Top with fresh arugula and red pepper flakes if desired. Slice and enjoy your homemade olive pizza!
