# Required ingredients:

02 - 1 packet instant dry yeast (7 g)
03 - 1 teaspoon sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon salt
05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
06 - 1 cup minus 1 tablespoon warm water

10 - 1.75 ounces pepperoni slices (optional)
11 - 1 small bell pepper, thinly sliced
12 - 1.75 ounces sliced mushrooms
13 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano

# How to make it:
01 - Combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add olive oil and warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms.
02 - Knead on a floured surface for approximately 7 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
03 - Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm environment for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
04 - Set oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
05 - Roll dough into a 13-inch (33 cm) circle on a floured surface and transfer to a baking tray or pizza stone.
06 - Arrange mozzarella strips around the dough's edge. Fold dough over cheese and pinch tightly to seal, creating the stuffed crust.
07 - Spread pizza sauce over dough center, then layer shredded mozzarella, pepperoni (if using), bell pepper, mushrooms, and sprinkle oregano evenly.
08 - Brush olive oil onto the stuffed crust for a golden finish.
09 - Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
10 - Allow to cool briefly, slice, and serve while hot.
