Sourdough Pissaladière

Here's my take on the Provencal tart, pissaladière: focaccia dough topped with a generous amount of nearly caramelized onions, a coarse purée of garlic, anchovies, and olives, and roughly chopped summer tomatoes. Traditional pissaladière is characterized by an orderly arrangement of the anchovies and olives, but I've never been a fan of that look, so I pulse the two together (along with capers) in the food processor. Tomatoes, too, are not traditional, but this time of year, it's hard not to sneak them onto (and into) everything. In this video, I'm using sourdough focaccia (recipe linked below) but it turns out just as well with yeast-leavened focaccia (recipe below).

The pan I am using in this video is the Lloyd gramma style pizza pan: tinyurl.com/kpbbwc72 (affiliate link) I used both butter and olive oil to encourage browning and prevent sticking, though I likely could have gotten away with olive oil alone.

A masterpiece! A plug is only shameless if the work isn’t up to the claim …not the case with your work. And that’s my testimonial - everything I’ve made from it has been a revelation to me and my tastebuds. 😊 I haven’t tackled sourdough but now I feel I must dive in and make my own starter. Have a wonderful Sunday!

[@AlexandraStafford]

Awww Jennifer, thank you :) :) :) You are too kind. Means so much to read all of this. Yeasted pissaladière is just as delicious but good luck with the sourdough starter! Let me know if you have any questions along the way :)

Ali, it is so beautiful I could cry! I am sure it is fabulously delicious! Thank you for this recipe, I will be making it now. Mine will be yeasted though but I am sure it will be tasty! Made the zucchini fritters the other day, amazing!

[@AlexandraStafford]

So nice to hear this! And yeasted pissaladiere is just as delicious!

[@thecalicoheart7946]

It’s my idea of Heaven too!! 😆 Your bread baking always looks so blinking wonderful. 😍 I make your naan breads all the time and your focaccia regularly. Got a recipe of yours proving right now actually! And here’s another one to save and try!!😃😃 Thank you for all you share. Your channel is an utter and complete delight. ☺️🙏 Edit: Your ‘shameless’ (not! 😉) plug worked - I’ve just ordered your book. I sorta forgot you wrote a book and as the other commenter (Jennifer Sauer) said, your recipes work and they are gorgeous, so it’s a no-brainer! 😁👍

[@AlexandraStafford]

Awww, this means the world. Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this AND for ordering my book ... truly: thank you. Made my day 💕💕💕💕 Hope you love the pissaladiere!

[@thecalicoheart7946]

@@AlexandraStafford The book has arrived! I am honestly genuinely chuffed with it. Having a properly bread-based cookbook is not something I’ve seen before. I love bread so this is great for me, I know your recipes work for me by now (from this channel 😁) and your book has a whole lot more recipes than I expected! 😃 Got onions on my shopping list to make the pissaladiere! 😆

[@debra8351]

Alexandra, that is truly beautiful. I’ll be making it this weekend over in Australia. I hope mine turns out half as good as yours Thank you for all your amazing recipes.

[@llt4000]

Good lord, I'm so inspired to make this!!

[@AlexandraStafford]

Hope you do! It's one of my favorites :)

[@lyndak5492]

Looks absolutely delish

[@AlexandraStafford]

Thank you :) :) :)

[@roxlee1]

This looks so great! Your focaccia recipe is a huge favorite in our household (so easy and so wonderful)! With your ratatouille, and now this pissaladière - there's no excuse not to love your recipes! Thanks for the continuous inspiration. I have had people I barely know rave about "your" focaccia and beg me to make it for them.

[@AlexandraStafford]

Awww ... this is so nice to hear! Thank you so much :) :) :) I feel like I could live on bread + roasted vegetables 💕

[@mrsmuffinman]

Agree! Your breads are go to recipes of mine since I started following, both yeasted and sourdough!

[@Kevin_747]

12 hours to make, gone in 12 minutes. Great looking flavor combination.

[@lizs1409]

[@8nansky528]

I ADORE READING

[@patihenri]

🤤 senti o cheiro aqui! Hahahaha

[@vincelieu4425]

Could it have been done with less oil? It was beautifully done though. Thanks for sharing it.

[@AlexandraStafford]

Probably :) :) :)

[@mrsmuffinman]

P.s. We don’t have a mezzaluna but we usually use big kitchen scissors to cut our pizzas 😂

[@thecalicoheart7946]

Me too! 😁

[@AlexandraStafford]

I need to order pizza scissors ... a number of people have recommended those to me!

[@Bean7968]

Bread porn at its best. Love it and your recipes. Thanks for this one too 😄👍🏼

[@AlexandraStafford]

Thank you :) :) :) Means a lot.
