Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 450\u00b0F. Grease 2 pizza pans or baking trays.
To make pizza dough: in a small bowl, combine water, yeast, sugar, and salt; whisk, until dissolved. Cover. Set aside in a warm place 5 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface.
Sift flour into a bowl; add yeast mixture and oil. Mix well, to form a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 10 minutes or until elastic. Place in a lightly greased bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Leave in a warm place 45 minutes, or until dough has doubled in size.
Using your fist, punch dough down. Knead on a lightly floured surface, until smooth. Halve dough; pat out each piece to an 8-inch round. Place dough on prepared pans or trays.
Spread tomato sauce over pizza bases, leaving a 1/4-inch border around edges. Top with pepper, pepperoni, tomatoes, bocconcini, and oregano. Drizzle with oil.
Bake 20 minutes, swapping trays halfway through cooking, until cheese is bubbling and edges of crust are golden brown. Cut into wedges. Serve immediately.
