Method

  1. 1 Knead the dough with yeast, water, and olive oil for 15 minutes, then let it rise for 3 hours in a thick baking tray.
  2. 2 Sauté thinly sliced onions in olive oil for 25 minutes, or until they are tender and sweet.
  3. 3 Add the salted anchovies to the pan with the onions and mash them until they dissolve completely; the onions and anchovies are the base sauce, not the tomatoes.
  4. 4 Spread the anchovy and onion sauce over the dough, then sprinkle with shredded provolone cheese and tomato sauce in spots.
  5. 5 Sprinkle breadcrumbs mixed with oregano and olive oil on top.
  6. 6 Let it rise for a second time for 1 hour, then bake at 220 degrees for 25 minutes until the crumbly surface is golden brown and crispy.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 2 hr

    Change the baking method in step 6: spray oil on the crumb surface, run the oven at 235 degrees for 16 minutes and rotate the tray at minute 8; crispier results sooner, large trays must be divided into batches.
