Instructions
For the Pizza Dough
- To make the pizza dough, stir the water, yeast and sugar together in a bowl or jug and set in a warm space to bloom. If your yeast doesn't dissolve or become milky, it is dead and you'll need to start again with fresh yeast.
- Combine 3 cups of flour and salt in a large mixing bowl, stirring it together to mix well.
- When the yeast is frothy/milky, add the olive oil and stir it through and then add the mixture to the flour. Combine the dough together with a spoon or spatula until it begins to come together and then tip it out on to a work surface to knead. Don't worry if you have loose floury bits; they will come together when you need the dough. Knead by hand for around 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and soft. If you have an electric mixer with a dough hook, knead the dough for around 5 minutes.
- If your dough is too wet, add up to ¼ cup more whole wheat flour. You may need a little more flour but ususally a ¼ cup does the trick. After kneading, your dough should be smooth and elastic. If it slowly bounces back when you poke it, your dough is ready to rise. If not, keep kneading.
- Form the dough in to a ball and place it in a large clean bowl lightly greased with olive oil. Cover it with a clean towel or cling film and sit it in a warm corner to proof for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.
- Once it has doubled in size, punch the dough down to release the air. It will deflate. Divide the dough in to two balls Roll each half into a ball and let rest in two separate bowls lightly covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil for at least 20 minutes. You are now ready to use or freeze your piiza dough.
- Preheat oven to 250°C (482°F) for 30 minutes prior to cooking the pizza.
For the Caramelised Onions
- Using a mandolin, finely slice onions.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot heat the olive oil on a low heat.
- Add the onions, thyme, sage, salt and sugar. Stir.
- Add the water.
- Cook on a very low heat for around 30 minutes stirring occasionally. Don't let the onions stick.
- When they are almost done, stir in the vinegar and continue cooking. The onions will be sweet and slightly caramel in colour when they are done.
- Set aside to cool.
For the Cashew Cream
- In a food processor add the cashew cream ingredients and blend until smooth. Adjust to taste.
- Put the cream in a squeezable bottle.
To Make the Pissaladière
- Liberally sprinkle semolina on a baking or pizza tray. Roll out the dough to a rectangle, pinching the edges to form a frame.
- Spoon the caramelised onion on to the base generously
- Lay kalamata olives evenly over the onions.
- Bake in the oven for 15-17 minutes or until the dough edges start to crisp and brown.
- Remove from the oven and squeeze the cashew cream across the top in a criss-cross pattern.
- Garnish with fresh thyme, a sprinkle of sea salt and serve
