Step 1: Prepare the Dough

• • In a large bowl, mix the bread flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Gradually add warm water, mixing until a dough forms.

• • Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in an oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

• • Preheat your oven to 240°C (475°F) or as high as it will go. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Step 3: Prepare the Sausage and Toppings

• • Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the crumbled sausage until browned. Set aside.

• • Slice the onion and bell pepper thinly for topping.

Step 4: Roll Out the Dough

• • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two portions. Roll each portion into a thin round or rectangle, depending on your preference.

Step 5: Assemble the Pizza

• • Place the dough on a baking sheet or pizza peel lined with parchment paper. Spread a thin layer of tomato passata or pizza sauce over the base.

• • Sprinkle-grated mozzarella evenly over the sauce, followed by the cooked sausage, sliced onion, and bell pepper. Sprinkle with dried oregano and drizzle with olive oil.

Step 6: Bake the Pizza

• • Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto a hot pizza stone) and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

• • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves or a sprinkle of chili flakes if desired. Slice and serve hot.
