Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pounds onions -- to 1 1/4 pounds, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced across the grain
1 pound cabbage -- shredded or finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 garlic cloves -- minced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves -- or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon capers -- drained, rinsed and mashed in a mortar and pestle or finely chopped

For pizza:
1/2 recipe whole-wheat pizza dough
12 anchovy fillets -- soaked in water for 5 minutes, drained, rinsed and dried
on paper towels (optional)
12 Nioise olives -- (optional)

DIRECTIONS
• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Add the onions and cabbage with a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Add another generous pinch of salt, cover the pan and turn the heat to low.
• Cook slowly for one hour, stirring often, until the mixture has melted down to a sweet, soft, golden marmalade.
• Add the garlic, thyme, capers, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover and cook for another 15 minutes.
• Uncover, and if there is a lot of liquid in the pan, cook until the liquid in the pan has cooked off.

• For pizza, preheat the oven to 450 degrees, preferably with a baking stone in it.
• Roll out the pizza dough and line a 12- to 14-inch pan.
• Brush the remaining tablespoon of oil over the bottom but not the rim of the crust.
• Spread the onion and cabbage mixture over the crust in an even layer.
• Cut the anchovies in half and decorate the top of the crust with them, making 12 small x’s and placing an olive in the middle of each x.
• Place on top of the pizza stone and bake 10 to 15 minutes, until the edges of the crust are brown and the topping is beginning to brown.
• Remove from the heat.
• Serve hot or warm or at room temperature.

Yield: One 12- to 14-inch pizza, 8 slices

Advance preparation:
The onion and cabbage topping will keep for a week in the refrigerator.
Pizza dough can be made several days ahead and held in the refrigerator, or it can be frozen.

I use this to make a riff on ★★★★aladire, the classic Nicoise onion pizza. The cabbage and onion mixture cooks down to a sweet marmalade that makes a perfect pizza topping and would go just as well on a piece of toast.



Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

- 2 crusts

2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil -- plus additional for
brushing the pizza crusts
1 1/4 cups stone ground whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour -- plus additional if necessary for kneading
1 1/4 teaspoons salt

• Combine the yeast and water in a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup.
• Add the sugar, and stir together.
• Let sit two or three minutes, until the water is cloudy.
• Stir in the olive oil.

• Combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour and salt in a food processor fitted with the steel blade.
• Pulse once or twice.
• Then, with the machine running, pour in the yeast mixture.
• Process until the dough forms a ball on the blades.
• Remove from the processor (the dough will be a little tacky; flour or moisten your hands so it won't stick), and knead on a lightly floured surface for a couple of minutes, adding flour as necessary for a smooth dough.

• Shape the dough into a ball, pinched at bottom and rounded at top.
• Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly oiled bowl, rounded side down first, then rounded side up.
• Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and leave it in a warm spot to rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• When it is ready, the dough will stretch when it is gently pulled.

• Divide the dough into two equal balls.
• Put the balls on a lightly oiled tray or platter, cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap or a damp towel, and leave them to rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Afterward, the dough balls can be placed in a wide bowl, covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to three days.
• Alternatively, you can wrap them loosely in lightly oiled plastic wrap and refrigerate them in a re-sealable plastic bag.
• When you are ready to roll out the pizzas, you will need to bring the balls to room temperature and punch them down again.

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven.
• Roll or press out the dough to a 12- to 14-inch circle.
• Lightly oil pizza pans, and dust with semolina or cornmeal.
• Place the dough on the pizza pan.
• With your fingers, form a slightly thicker raised rim around edge of the circle.
• Brush everything but the rim with a little olive oil, then top the pizza with the toppings of your choice.

• Place the pizza pan on the stone.
• Bake as directed.

Yield: Two 12- to 14-inch crusts.

Advance preparation:
• The pizza dough can be refrigerated after the first rise for up to three days (see step 4).
• The rolled out dough can be frozen.
• Transfer directly from the freezer to the oven.
