Round pan-baked toasted pizza: the recipe

A masterpiece of Campanian and southern Italian culinary tradition. It's the classic home-style or old-bakery pizza, defined by its unmistakable crunchy, almost fried texture on the edges and base.
An alternative to the traditional Neapolitan pizza, with no need for a high-performance oven.
