# Ingredient List:
→ Dough
01 - 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 packet instant dry yeast (7 g)
03 - 1 tsp sugar
04 - 1 tsp salt
05 - 2 tbsp olive oil
06 - 1 cup warm water
→ Cheese Filling
07 - 7 oz mozzarella cheese sticks or block mozzarella, cut into thin strips
→ Sauce & Toppings
08 - ¾ cup pizza sauce
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 tsp dried oregano
14 - 1 tsp olive oil for brushing crust
# How to Make It:
01 - Combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add olive oil and warm water. Mix thoroughly until a soft, pliable dough forms.
02 - Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for approximately 7 minutes until smooth and elastic to the touch.
03 - Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let rise in a warm location for 1 hour or until doubled in volume.
04 - Preheat oven to 450°F.
05 - On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 13-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
06 - Arrange mozzarella strips around the outer edge of the dough. Fold the dough edge over the cheese and pinch tightly to seal, forming the stuffed crust.
07 - Spread pizza sauce evenly over the center. Layer with shredded mozzarella, pepperoni if using, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sprinkle with oregano.
08 - Brush the stuffed crust edge with olive oil to achieve a golden, glossy finish.
09 - Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the crust is deep golden and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
10 - Allow pizza to rest for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing. Serve hot.
