Serves 6
Ingredients:
2 tsp dried yeast
1 tsp sugar
230g plain flour, plus extra
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1-2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
3 apples, peeled, cored, chopped
3 tsp crushed garlic
1 small red onion, cut into strips
2 apples, extra, unpeeled, cored, diced
2 tsp thyme or rosemary leaves
3 tbsp grated parmesan
50g tinned anchovies (optional)
Method:
- Place 1 cup warm water into an electric mixer bowl with yeast and sugar. Leave for 5 minutes until yeast is puffy.
- Add flour, salt and vegetable oil. Mix for 3 seconds. Leave to rise in bowl. When doubled in size, mix for another 30 seconds.
- Add a little extra flour, mix for 3-4 minutes until mixture forms a ball. Press dough into an oval, 35cm long and 1cm thick.
- Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan forced). Heat butter and half the olive oil in a pan. Add chopped apples and garlic. Sauté over low heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are very soft. Cool slightly; puree in a blender.
- Spread purée on dough. Arrange onions and extra diced apples on top, sprinkle with herbs and parmesan (and add anchovies, if using). Drizzle with remaining olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden.
