Method:

1. Slice the bread rounds in half horizontally and brush each slice with olive oil.

2. Heat a frying pan (skillet) and add each oiled slice to seal, or flash under a hot grill (broiler). This prevents the dough from becoming soggy.

3. Place the bread rounds on baking sheets and spoon 45 ml/3 tbsp pizza sauce on each one.

4. Cover with the cheese, then seafood and more tomato sauce.

5. Add the anchovies and olives and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6 for 15 minutes.
