Instructions

3.	Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned.

5.	Stir in the herbs, white pepper, and anchovy fillets (if desired). Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
6.	Pour the onion mixture into the pre-baked crust. Arrange the olives on top.
