Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Assemble the Pizza
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone inside.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza peel dusted with flour.
- Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a border for the crust.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese over the sauce, then add pepperoni and oregano.
- Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone in the oven.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil, slice, and serve hot.

Notes
For a crispier crust, use a pizza stone and preheat it in the oven before baking the pizza.
