Ingredients

  • plain (all-purpose) flour, for dusting
  • basic pizzette dough 
  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • 400 g (14 oz) tinned chopped tomatoes
  • anchovies in olive oil, drained and thinly sliced
  • caperberries, drained
If making the dough from scratch, you'll need to allow an extra 2 hours prep time.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F) and place a pizza stone on a high shelf. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough, flipping it around and over every now and then until you get a roundish shape. Using an 8 cm (3¼ in) cookie cutter, cut out circles of dough. Using your finger, rub each circle with a little olive oil.

Make a shallow and broad well in the centre of each circle. Place a heaped teaspoon of chopped tomatoes in the well and top with a few slices of anchovy. Carefully transfer the pizzette to the pizza stone and bake for 6 minutes. Remove the stone from the oven and place on a heatproof surface. Place a caperberry on top of each pizzetta, then slide the stone back into the oven and bake for a further 6 minutes or until the dough is golden.

Drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil on each pizzetta and serve warm.
