Preheat the oven to 180° C On a clean surface, form a volcano with the flour and add the yeast, sugar, salt, water in the center and mix a little until integrated. Add the oregano, olive oil and work until integrated. With the help of your hands, knead until you have a smooth and elastic dough. In a previously greased bowl, place the dough and let it ferment until it doubles in size. On a floured surface, roll out the dough, measure the baking tray you will use and cut the dough a little larger than its size (about 2 cm). Place the mozzarella cheese sticks at the edges and cover them with the dough. Pinch the ends together lightly to seal. Pour a bit of sauce, add the cheese mixture, the pepperoni, brush the edge with olive oil, and bake for 15 minutes or until cooked. Cut a slice and serve.
