- Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water in a large bowl. Let stand until dissolved, about 5 minutes.
- Stir the cold water and salt into the yeast mixture and gradually stir in flour until the mixture pulls together into dough.
- Remove dough from the bowl and knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes, until a smooth tight ball can be formed.
- Dust the dough with flour and place in a sealed container or re-sealable bag with plenty of extra room.
- Refrigerate for at least 12 hours, and up to 3 days.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Stretch out the dough and press into a large oiled baking sheet.
- Use a fork to poke holes all over the dough so that it will rise evenly.
- Toast the breadcrumbs in a large skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown, set aside.
- Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, cook and stir until tender.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes.
- Arrange anchovy fillets evenly over the dough.
- Spread the tomato sauce heavily over the entire crust.
- Sprinkle with toasted bread crumbs and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
- Allow the dough to rise near the warm oven for about 30 minutes.
- Bake the pizza on the bottom rack of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the bottom of the crust is golden brown.
