# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add olive oil and warm water. Mix until a soft dough forms.
02 - Knead the dough on a floured surface for approximately 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
03 - Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
04 - Preheat oven to 450°F.
05 - Roll the dough into a 13-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to a baking tray or pizza stone.
06 - Arrange mozzarella strips around the edge of the dough. Fold the dough over the cheese and tightly pinch to seal, creating a stuffed crust.
07 - Spread pizza sauce over the center. Top with shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sprinkle with oregano.
08 - Brush the stuffed crust with olive oil for a golden finish.
09 - Bake for 15–20 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
10 - Let cool slightly, slice, and serve hot.
