Ingredients

  • 350g pizza dough
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 oz low moisture mozzarella cheese grated
  • capers
  • 1 tin flat fillets of anchovies
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • dill
  • flour

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉.
  • Bring the dough to room temperature. On a heavily floured surface start stretching and shaping the dough. Start with dimpling the dough followed by a series of stretches to get the dough to a 12" circle.
  • In a bowl combine minced garlic and 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Spread the garlic oil over the center of the pizza leaving room for the crust.
  • Top with grated mozzarella cheese followed by a generous amount of capers.
  • Place in the oven for 10-15 minutes until dough is golden brown and cheese is melty.
  • Top the pizza with anchovies, a few slices of lemons, and a pinch of fresh dill. When ready to eat squeeze the lemon over the slice.
  • Leftover pizza can be stored in the refrigerator tightly wrapped in aluminum foil. When ready to eat again, heat up in the oven.

Notes

the 350g of dough makes 1 12 inch pizza which roughly serves 1-2 people. This recipe is scalable to make more.
