Pissaladiere Recipe Jamie Oliver Food

PISSALADIèRE

Steps:

• Make the filling: Finely chop 2 of the anchovy fillets. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, thyme and chopped anchovy, then cover pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in salt, and continue cooking for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions should be pale golden and very soft; lower the heat if they start to turn dark brown at the edges or stick to the skillet. Use your judgment on timing: Look to the color of the onions to tell you when they're done. Remove from heat and cool completely before using.
• Meanwhile, make the dough: In a medium bowl, sprinkle dry yeast over warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes, then add oil. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt, then stir in yeast mixture with a wooden spoon until combined. Turn bowl's contents out onto a floured surface and knead until uniform and elastic, 3 to 5 minutes. (Flour your hands if necessary to keep dough from sticking.) Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, flip the dough over, cover bowl with a damp cloth and let rest in a draft-free place for 1 hour.
• Lightly oil an 11x17-inch rimmed baking sheet. Working on a floured surface, roll dough into an 11x16-inch rectangle, then transfer it to the oiled baking sheet and press the dough to the sides. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread cooked onions evenly over dough, and top with remaining anchovies and olives. Bake until edges and underside are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CLASSIC PROVENCAL PISSALADIèRE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the onions and demerara sugar and sauté , frequently stirring, until the onions become tender and start to turn golden at this point, be very careful not to burn the onions as this can leave a very bitter taste to the whole dish.
• Sprinkle the cooked onions with salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Stir the mixture and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
• Cook for 20 to 30 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the onions are wilted, very soft, and are a medium gold throughout, again check for burning.
• Add the vinegar during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
• Remove from the onions from the oven and set them aside to cool while preparing the pastry for the pissaladiere.
• Raise the oven temperature to 425 F.
• Press the thawed pastry into a rectangle on a 12-inch by 18-inch baking sheet, building it up a bit around the edges.
• Spread the pastry with the onion confit, leaving 1 inch of dough uncovered around the edges of the pastry.
• Arrange the anchovy fillets and olives on the pissaladière in a criss-cross pattern then place an olive into each rectangle pattern to make an attractive looking tart.
• Bake the tart for 15 to 25 minutes in the center of the heated oven until the pastry has puffed up, turned golden, and crisped.
• Remove the pissaladière from the oven and sprinkle the olive oil and fresh thyme across the hot surface of the tart.
• Cut it into rectangles and serve very warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

PISSALADIERE

Steps:

• For the topping, heat the olive oil in a very large saute pan and cook the onions, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic over low heat for 45 minutes, until the onions are sweet and cooked but not browned. Toss the onions from time to time. After 30 minutes, take out the garlic, chop it roughly, and add it back to the onions.
• Meanwhile, for the dough, combine the water, yeast, honey, and olive oil in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. (If the bowl is cold, start with warmer water so it's at least 100 degrees F when you add the yeast.) Add 3 cups of the flour, then the salt, and mix on medium-low speed. While mixing, add 1 more cup of flour, or just enough to make a soft dough. Mix the dough on medium-low speed for about 10 minutes, until smooth, sprinkling it with flour to keep it from sticking to the bowl. When the dough is ready, turn it out onto a floured board and knead it by hand a dozen times. It should be smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl and turn it to cover lightly with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel. Allow to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Divide the dough into 2 equal parts, rolling each 1 into a smooth ball. If you're only making 1 pissaladiere, place 1 ball on a baking sheet and cover it loosely with a damp towel. Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes. (If you're not using the other dough, wrap it well and refrigerate or freeze it for the next time.) Roll the dough lightly with a rolling pin, then stretch it to a 10 by 15-inch rectangle and place it on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.
• Spoon the onion topping onto the dough, leaving a 3/4-inch border all around. Artfully arrange the anchovies and olives on top, brush the edge of the dough with olive oil, and bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is crisp. Serve hot on a cutting board.

PISSALADIERE

Steps:

• To make the dough: Make a well in the flour. Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and set aside until dissolved and slightly foamy, about 5 minutes. Beat the egg and salt into it, and pour into the well of the flour. Gradually mix with your fingers, drawing the flour in to make the dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, adding more flour, if needed. Cover and set in a warm place to double in bulk, about 1 hour.
• To prepare the topping: Heat the oil in a saute pan and add the onions, herbs, salt, and pepper. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft, about 30 minutes.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. When the dough is ready, punch it down and roll it out like pizza dough. Lay on a baking sheet. Top with the onions. Lay on the tomato slices in rows. Arrange a lattice of anchovies, and fill spaces with olives. Grind over pepper. Let sit 15 minutes for the dough to rise up again a bit. Bake until the crust is done, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• To make the onion filling:.
• In a large saute pan, cook the onions with salt in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat until very soft & caramelized, about 30 minutes.
• Add the minced garlic and thyme and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
• Season the onions with salt, and pepper, to taste. Cook's Note: Slightly under salt to account for the salt from the anchovies and olives.
• To assemble:.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Stretch the dough into a long rectangle and place on a greased baking sheet. It should almost fit the size of the baking sheet.
• Spread the onion mixture on the dough, leaving a small border. Arrange the anchovies & olives decoratively over the onions. Brush the exposed dough with the remaining olive oil & bake in the hot oven until golden & cooked through, 15-20 minutes.

PEPPER PISSALADIèRE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the onions, garlic, peppers and olive oil into a roasting tin and cook for 40-45 mins, stirring occasionally, until the onions and peppers are soft and tinged brown. Stir in the olives and capers, and season well.
• While the onions are cooking, make up the pizza dough following pack instructions. Roll and press the dough out to fit a baking tray, about 40 x 30cm. Leave to rise in the tray for 10 mins, then spoon over the topping mix. Press gently into the dough and leave for another 10 mins. Scatter over the anchovies, if using.
• Bake for 25-30 mins or until the dough has risen and cooked through. Drizzle with more olive oil to serve if you like.

• Place this mixture on a lightly floured work surface and knead sticky dough for about 5 minutes until satiny and smooth.
• Knead in no more than three tablespoons additional flour.
• Place dough in large bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place away from drafts until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• While dough is rising, prepare the filling.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet and over medium-low heat sauté the onions, garlic and salt until soft and transparent, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Throughout the cooking time, always stir occasionally to prevent onions from browning or scorching.
• Add the water and thyme, and over high heat cook until the water evaporates.
• Over low heat, continue sautéing about 20 minutes longer, until onion mixture is similar to a paste (yield at this time is 3 cups).
• Remove sprig of thyme.
• Set aside to cool.
• Adjust the rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Rub 1 tablespoon olive oil over the bottom of a 10 x 15 jelly roll pan or a 12-inch pizza pan.
• Punch dough down.
• With fingertips, press and stretch the dough to fit the pan.
• If the dough becomes elastic, rest a couple of minutes, then press again.
• Cover dough loosely with plastic wrap and let rest about 30 minutes or until puffy.
• Spread the onion filling evenly over the dough to the edges.
• Sprinkle Parmesan over filling.
• Arrange the anchovy fillets, lattice-fashion, over the filling and dot the olives over the surface.
• Keep the design close together so that when cut, each portion will include an olive and some anchovy.
• Bake for about 30 minutes or until edge of crust is light gold.
• Sprinkle freshly ground pepper over top.
• Cut rectangles, squares or wedges while warm or at room temperature.
• Notes: For an extra crisp crust, spread filling over dough, and rather than allow time for the dough to rise and become puffy, bake it right away.
• For a more bread-like crust, let dough rise in baking pan until puffy, then spread filling on top and bake.
• If anchovy fillets taste too salty, rinse them in cold water and dry thoroughly with paper towels.

PISSALADIERE

Steps:

• Pastry:.
• Sift flour and salt into small bowl and rub in butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
• Mix water and lemon juice and stir into flour mixture with a knife - add only enough for the dough to form a ball.
• Turn on to a floured surface and knead lightly until smooth.
• Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
• Filling:.
• Heat the oil in a large pan and cook onions gently without browning until they are almost a puree - about 40 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Roll out the pastry on a floured surface. Make a circle big enough to line a slightly greased 30cm pizza tray.
• Prick all over with a fork and bake in a preheated 220C (425F) for 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and cover pastry with the onions, pressing them down a bit.
• Cover the onions with the tomatoes, overlapping them.
• Drain the anchovies, reserving oil, and cut each fillet in half lengthwise. Make a lattice pattern of anchovy strips over the filling.
• Decorate the "holes" in the lattice with halved black olives.
• Sprinkle tart with reserved anchovy oil. Grind as much pepper over the top as you wish.
• Reduce the oven to 190C (375F) and bake for 15 minutes or until pastry is crisp and golden.

PISSALADIERE

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in 1 cup of very warm water in a large bowl. Add 1 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste and 1 tablespoon oil. Stir in 2 1/2 cups flour, half a cup at a time. Begin kneading dough in bowl, adding more flour to make it soft and not too sticky. Knead about 5 minutes. Cover, and set aside to rise 1 hour.
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large skillet. Add onions, 1 teaspoon salt, bay leaf, herbes de Provence and pepper to taste. Cook over low heat until onions start to soften; cover, and cook about 45 minutes, until very soft but not colored. Uncover, remove bay leaf and increase heat briefly to cook off excess liquid.
• Heat oven to 475 degrees. Punch dough down. Roll, and stretch to fit a pizza pan or jellyroll pan greased with remaining oil. Spread with onions. Arrange olives, anchovies and peppers in pattern on top. Bake 20 minutes, cut in squares or wedges and serve.

PISSALADIERE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Knead dough lightly, and place it on lightly floured surface; sprinkle it with a little more flour, and cover with plastic wrap or towel. Let rest while oven heats and you cook the onions.
• Place olive oil in large skillet, and turn heat to medium-high. Add onions, along with some salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until onions give up their liquid and become quite soft, at least 15 minutes; do not allow onions to brown. When they are cooked, turn off heat and stir in thyme.
• Pat or roll out dough as thinly as possible to diameter of 12 inches, using more flour or oil as necessary. The process will be easier if you allow dough to rest occasionally between rollings. If you have a pizza stone in your oven, place dough on a floured peel, or long-handled board; if you do not, lay dough on baking sheet brushed lightly with olive oil. Let dough rest for 15 to 30 minutes, or until it begins to puff ever so slightly.
• Spread dough with onions, and then decorate, if you like, with anchovies, olives, and tomato. Bake until nicely crisp, 15 minutes or more; if tart is browning unevenly, rotate it back to front about halfway through cooking time. Serve hot or at room temperature.

PISSALADIèRE

Steps:

• Tip the flour, salt and yeast into a bowl. Pour in the water, spoon in the oil and mix to a soft dough. Turn out on to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky.
• Return the dough to the bowl, cover with cling film or a damp tea towel and leave it to rise for 45 minutes to 1¼ hours or until the dough springs back when pressed. Don't worry too much is it takes more or less time - it's not critical for this relaxed recipe.
• While the dough is rising, heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan or sauté pan, throw in the onions and fry gently for about 10 minutes until softened but not browned, stirring from time to time.
• Sprinkle in the thyme and some salt and pepper, then tip in the tomatoes and stir well. Cover and cook gently for 45 minutes until the onions are meltingly soft, stirring occasionally and removing the lid for the last 10 minutes to reduce any liquid. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
• Preheat the oven to 220C/gas 7/fan 200C. Lightly oil a shallow 23x33cm baking tin or tray. Knead the dough again briefly, then roll it out and press it into the tin. Don't leave it to rise again.
• Spread the onion mixture over the dough, then arrange the anchovies on top, making a criss-cross pattern. Stud each window between the anchovies with an olive, then bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. Serve warm, cold or reheated, cut into squares.
