Don,

Sorry to be so late in responding, but I went to Martha's website and got 
the recipe for you.  If you go to her website, www.marthastewart.com, you 
can locate recipes by searching or by day.  I actually found the recipe you 
wanted for the 5th of July, and got you the link.  It DOES look good!  If 
the link doesn't click through, I've copied and pasted the recipe for you 
and anyone else interested below.

COOKING: PISSALADIERE

This classic Provencal tart, which is similar to pizza and focaccia, has a 
bread crust topped with onions, anchovies, and black olives.

Makes 1 thirteen-by-eighteen-inch tart

For the dough:
3/4 cup warm water (105 F to 115 F)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for bowl and baking pan
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 3/4 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting

For the salt wash:
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fine sea salt

For the filling:
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 fresh bay leaf
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds onions, thinly sliced
4 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fine sea salt

12 anchovy fillets, halved lengthwise
2 ounces nicoise olives, pitted and halved lengthwise

1. Make the dough: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup water and the sugar. 
Stir to dissolve sugar. Add yeast, and set aside until foamy, about 5 
minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup water, the oil, salt, and flour. Stir until 
dough forms around spoon. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and 
knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Lightly oil a medium bowl. Place dough 
in bowl, turning to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap, and set in a 
warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

2. Preheat oven to 450 F with rack in center. Lightly oil a 13-by-18-inch 
rimmed baking sheet. Make the salt wash: In a small bowl, combine the 
water, oil, and salt; stir to dissolve salt. Roll dough into a 
13-by-18-inch rectangle. Fit into pan, folding in excess to form a slightly 
raised edge. Prick all over with the tines of a fork. Brush salt wash 
evenly over dough. Set aside to rise for 30 minutes.

3. While the dough is rising in the pan, make the filling: Tie the thyme, 
parsley, and bay leaf together with a piece of kitchen twine to make a 
bouquet garni. In a large straight-sided skillet, heat oil over medium 
heat. Add onions, garlic, bouquet garni, and salt. Cover, and cook, 
stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low, and 
continue to cook, covered and stirring occasionally until very soft and 
translucent, about 25 minutes more. Transfer to a sieve to drain any excess 
liquid. Remove and discard bouquet garni.

4. Spread onion filling evenly over risen dough. Place anchovies 
decoratively over top of tart. Bake for 12 minutes. Rotate pan, and bake 
until crust is cooked through and golden, about 12 minutes more. Remove 
from oven, and using a spatula, transfer tart to a wire rack. Arrange 
olives decoratively on tart. Serve warm or room temperature.
