In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, then add the olive oil and the proofed yeast mixture. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Peel the red onion and garlic, then slice them thinly.

Spread tomato sauce over the pizza dough, then sprinkle with oregano and freshly ground black pepper.

Place the pizza on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
