Inverted Pizza with Olives, Anchovies and Caramelized Onions

Pissaladière is a classic savory tart from the south of France, featuring caramelized onions, savory anchovies and briny black olives—an ideal topping combination for our weeknight-simple inverted pizza. Caramelizing thinly sliced onions on a baking sheet makes quick, hands-off work of the task. Once nicely browned, the topping mixture is covered in store-bought pizza dough, then baked until golden. After being inverted upright, the browned crust that formed during baking becomes a wonderfully crisp bottom, no pizza stone required. Fresh thyme and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil give the pizza an enticing aroma and shine.
