Ingredients
  

  • 1 batch of your favorite pizza dough
  • 4 cloves of garlic thinly sliced
  • 4 fillets of anchovy chopped
  • 1 tsp dried red chili flakes
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • 1/4 cup of kalamata olives pitted
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 cup of tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Start by making the sauce. Remember, it’s all about the sauce.
  • To a skillet, on medium heat, add the oil and let that come to temperature.
  • Add the garlic, chili flakes, anchovies, kalamata olives, and salt and pepper. Give a good stir.
  • Once the garlic begins to turn color, add in the sauce, and give another good stir. Then add in the capers, and let this sauce cook, on low heat for about 10 minutes.
  • Next, form your pizza dough. Sprinkle the dough with the Italian seasoning. Ladle on the puttanesca sauce on top of the dough, then top with the mozzarella cheese.
  • Place into a very hot oven on a preheated pizza stone (or use your grill and Kettle Pizza if you have one), and cook until the dough is nice and crisp and the cheese is nice and melted.
  • The end result is awesome! The sauce, if you have never had it, is packed full of flavor. It’s spicy, briney, garlicy, and just down right delicious, and when put on a pizza, well heck, it just gets even better. Hope you enjoy!
