  4. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush crust with olive oil for flavor and sheen.
  5. Add the Pizza Sauce: Spread sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a border.
  6. Top with Anchovies and Cheese: Distribute anchovies on one half and mozzarella on the other.
  7. Season and Sprinkle: Add oregano and red pepper flakes if desired.
  8. Bake the Pizza: Transfer to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
