After the due time I took the dough and I spread it in two pizza pans with a diameter of 33 cm that I first greased with a little oil. Leaving a border of two centimeters, I spread the tomato puree on the base of the pizzas with the help of a spoon, I added the slices of spicy Calabrian soppressata and provolone cheese. I sprinkled with a little oil and a pinch of oregano and baked in a preheated oven at 250 ° for about 18 minutes. 

I advise you to adjust the cooking according to your oven.
