Pizza Sardenaria as Dani likes

Ingredients:
Dough:
250g flour
150ml water
half cup of milk
baker's yeast
two spoons of olive oil
one spoon of salt and half spoon of sugar
Sauce:
400ml tomato sauce
3 shallots (1 big onion would work as well)
two anchovies
half cup of capers
half cup of black olives
oregan
salt

Preparation:

Mix the dough ingredients with a bread machine or a kitchen robot: the dough shall be very soft, it shall stick to your fingers in order to remain soft once baked. So in case the dough is dry, you can add some milk (a little at a time otherwise you will then have to add flour and then milk again and you end up with dough enough for two pizzas :) ).
Spread some oil in an over pan and roll out the dough in it. Let it rise for 1 hour, better 2 hours.

Chop the shallots an fry it with some olive oil. Add the tomato sauce and stir for few minutes.
(Caution: Do NOT add salt yet! Anchovies are very tasty so you may risk to get it too salty).
Mince capers and olives (not all of them, keep a few as a top decoration) and add them to the sauce. Add the anchovies and stir till they are melted.
Add salt and oregan and stil for few minutes.

When the dough is leavened, spread the sauce on top, decorate with some olives and bake in the oven at 360F for 40 minutes.
