Description

This unique pizza recipe blends Middle-Eastern flavors with classic Italian comfort food. Using a convenient hot-roll mix for the crust, you get a soft, fluffy base that holds up to a robust, deeply savory sauce. The sauce is simmered with onions, garlic, oregano, and anchovies, creating a complex umami profile that pairs beautifully with the nutty sharpness of Swiss cheese and the creamy texture of dry Gouda. It is an aromatic, well-seasoned dish that delivers rich, cheesy satisfaction in every bite.

Directions

  1. Prepare the hot-roll mix according to the package directions and allow the dough to rise until doubled in size.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Add the minced onions to the pan and cook for 10 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.
  4. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, minced garlic, oregano, and salt.
  5. Cover the saucepan and simmer the mixture over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  7. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a circle suitable for your baking pan or pizza stone.
  8. Spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  9. Sprinkle the chopped anchovies, grated Swiss cheese, and dry Gouda evenly over the sauce.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
  12. Garnish with fresh minced parsley before serving.
