In a mixing bowl, take warm water and sprinkle in the yeast. Stir to combine and allow to rise.

Spread and apply the cheese sauce. Place a second layer of pizza dough and apply little water on the sides of the dough to seal it. Now enclose the sides of the dough well and press it gently so that it is uniform throughout.

Pork it once again well with the fork. Then, apply and spread the pizza sauce on top of it.

Now add some finely grated mozzarella cheese and place the topping of chocie, on top. Add more cheese if needed and sprinkle some oregano or any Italian seasoning of your choice.

Finally, brush some melted butter or olive oil on the sides of the dough and drizzle it on top to give a pleasant aroma to the pizza.
