Add 200 ml of lukewarm water and the yeast, then knead vigorously until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Put it in a bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave it to rise for 2-3 hours. Gently deflate the dough with your fingertips and divide it into 8 parts of roughly the same size.

Flatten the dough with your hands, giving it a circular shape of about 12 cm of diameter, and sprinkle the chopped anchovies and thin cubes of caciocavallo on 4 of the round pieces of dough, then cover them with the remaining 4 pieces and seal the edges well. Finally, season them with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of crushed coarse salt.
