ingredients

2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons butter, about
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 can anchovy
10 whole black olives, with pits
2 sliced tomatoes
¹⁄₄ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¹⁄₄ teaspoon dried tarragon
¹⁄₄ teaspoon oregano
¹⁄₄ teaspoon thyme
¹⁄₄ teaspoon parsley

directions

Prepare Pizza dough made in bread machine as per bread machine's instructions.
Spread a little cornmeal on the pizza pan before placing the dough on it-- this helps crisp the dough nicely.
Make sure your hands have olive oil on them when flattening the pizza dough for the pan.
(I find that there is enough dough to make 2 pizzas.. just place foil on top of prepared pizza and freeze.) When ready to use defrost and bake.
This pizza is'hot' and tasty-- have ready a cold beer beside you or a nice cold drink.
Preheat Oven to 425F degrees Make a paste with the crushed garlic cloves and butter.
With a pastry brush spread the garlic/butter on top of pizza dough.
Add the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Tear up the whole anchovies in pieces and place on the cheese.
Add the black olives, and thinly sliced tomatoes.
Sprinkle the dried herbs over the pizza.
Mix the olive oil with the dried crushed pepper flakes and pour over the pizza dough.
Bake in hot oven for about 15 minutes or until crust looks done and cheese has melted.
Let cool a minute or two before slicing.

I love pizza and this was delicious. Anchovies and olives are a natural pair! Great recipe!

I hate to only rate this three stars, but it was way too salty! Pleeeeease DO NOT add the two teaspoons salt as called for in the recipe! I omitted the olive oil, only used one teaspoon salt, and used all the ingredients to top one pizza. I made recipe #85623 and made two crusts ~ used one for this caliente pizza and one for a pepperoni pizza. This is a great combination of flavors, and I will make it again, but without any added salt! :) Made for Undercover: Pies and Tarts, June 2010 in the Photo Forum.

The caliente pizza was very tasty, however i used artichokes and fresh sliced tomatoes for toppings instead of anchovies and olives.

Hi, I live on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. I am semi-retired; I have a Bed & Breakfast, which is temporarily closed. When I have guests I enjoy making special breakfasts that are easy, quick, tasty and different. I like cooking for my husband who enjoys all foods, and for family and friends. I enjoy baking more. I try to cook with low-fat ingredients in mind, including deserts..but everything must be tasty. I do not have an all-time favorite cookbook ..I find recipes from magazines, tv, newspapers, & then compile them in a cookbook of my own..I 'try & test' the recipes..if tasty,I keep 'em, if not, out it goes! I tend to use old recipes over & over, new ones sometimes are a disappointment.
