Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly greas a 12X9 inch baking sheet. Sift the flour and salt into a large bnowl. Stir in the yeast. Make a well in the center and add olive oil and 1 cup lukewarm water. Mix until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 5 minutes.

Roll out dough and press into prepared baking sheet. Cover and allow to rest 10 minutes at room temperature then bake 5-7 minutes.

Remove the crust from the oven and spread pizza sauce on top, leaving a 1/4 inch border. Arrange the mozzarella on top and then the pepperoni. Sprinkle with oregano and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and bake until golden, about 15-20 minutes.

Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the pizza into 6 square slices. Serve hot.
