# What You Need:
→ Dough
01 - 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 packet instant dry yeast (7 g)
03 - 1 teaspoon sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon salt
05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
06 - 7/8 cup warm water (approx. 220 ml)
→ Cheese Filling
07 - 7 oz mozzarella cheese sticks or block, cut into thin strips
→ Sauce & Toppings
08 - 3/4 cup pizza sauce (180 ml)
09 - 7 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
10 - 1.75 oz pepperoni slices (optional)
11 - 1 small bell pepper, thinly sliced
12 - 1.75 oz sliced mushrooms
13 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
14 - 1 teaspoon olive oil (for brushing crust)
# Directions:
01 - Combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add olive oil and warm water, then mix until a soft dough forms.
02 - Knead the dough on a floured surface for 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
03 - Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and allow to rise in a warm environment for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
04 - Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
05 - Roll the dough on a floured surface into a 13-inch (33 cm) circle. Transfer onto a baking tray or pizza stone.
06 - Arrange mozzarella strips evenly around the dough’s edge. Fold the dough over the cheese strips and pinch tightly to seal the stuffed crust.
07 - Spread pizza sauce over the center of the dough. Top with shredded mozzarella, pepperoni (if using), bell pepper, mushrooms, and sprinkle with oregano.
08 - Brush the stuffed crust with olive oil to aid browning and flavor.
09 - Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
10 - Allow to cool slightly. Slice and serve warm.
