Preheat the #oven{} to 500°F (260°C) with a rack in the lowest slot ~preheat{30%min}.

>> step: layer the cheese right to the edge
Layer @low-moisture mozzarella{10%oz}(285 g; grated) over @sicilian pan dough{1%tray}(proved in its 12x16-in pan; from the recipe on this shelf), taking it right out to the metal, where it will catch and fry into the crust the corner squares are fought over for.

>> step: ladle the sauce on top in stripes
Ladle @marinara sauce{1 1/2%cup}(360 mL; from the recipe on this shelf) over @&(~1)cheesed dough{} in three broad stripes rather than a sheet, and scatter @dried oregano{1%tsp} and @grated pecorino{1/4%cup}(25 g) across it.

>> step: bake 500°F (260°C) 22 to 28 min
Bake @&(~1)tray{} on the low rack ~bake{25%min}, until the sauce has gone matte and a spatula under one corner shows a base fried gold and stiff.

>> step: cool 10 min on a rack, then cut in squares
Cool @&(~1)pizza{} out of the pan and on a rack ~cool{10%min}, then cut it into twelve squares.

Cheese under the sauce and not over it. Laid on the dough it seals it so a crumb this open bakes through.
