Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan or a similar-sized deep-dish pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and set aside.
Roll out the OAMC Easy Mix Yeast Bread Dough on a floured surface to an 11-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Transfer the dough carefully into the prepared pan, pressing it up the sides slightly to form a crust. Use any extra dough to reinforce the edges if desired.
Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the dough and set aside while assembling the toppings.
Spread 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the bottom of the dough.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Spread this mixture over the mozzarella layer in an even layer.
Distribute the diced pepperoni or cooked sausage evenly over the sauce. If using optional toppings like bell peppers or mushrooms, sprinkle them over the pizza at this stage.
Finish by sprinkling the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow the pizza to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
