Method
- 1 Knead the dough until it's wetter than usual, then let it rise for 4 hours in a greased rectangular baking tray.
- 2 Press the dough down to cover the entire tray, and let it rise for another 30 minutes to create a thick and fluffy base.
- 3 Cook the tomato sauce with thinly sliced onions until it's sweet and thick.
- 4 Spread the sauce on the base, then sprinkle with salted anchovies and Pecorino cheese.
- 5 Sprinkle breadcrumbs mixed with olive oil on top, bake at 220 degrees for 25 minutes until crispy.

Replace step 5: spray a thin layer of oil onto the sides of the mold, use a 235-degree hot air oven for 16 minutes, rotating the tray at minute 8. The strong airflow shortens the time by about one-third compared to a conventional oven and browns the surface faster.
