Take the pissaladières out of the oven and top with anchovies and serve them hot or warm with fresh herbs, a pinch of chilli pepper, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. * If you want to make the pizza dough at home, here’s a quick way: mix together and then knead 400 g of whole grain flour, 250 g of Manitoba flour, four tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, one level tablespoon of salt, one level tablespoon of sugar, warm water, and two sachets of dry yeast for bread-making.
