Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Place a 12-inch cast iron skillet in the oven and preheat to 500°F (260°C).
Meanwhile, roll or stretch the dough into a 35 cm (14 in) circle. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Pour two-thirds of the olive oil into the skillet, then carefully transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it down around the edges. Spread the sauce over the dough, making sure it reaches the very edges. Top with pepperoni and mozzarella pearls. Brush the remaining olive oil over the visible dough. Bake on the bottom rack until golden brown, 12-14 minutes.
