3. Transfer the rolled dough to a greased baking sheet or preheated pizza stone, carefully stretching it to fit if necessary.
4. Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
6. Arrange the sliced pepperoni, bell peppers, and red onion on top of the cheese.
7. Drizzle olive oil over the entire pizza and season with dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy!
