Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the high-protein flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and bread improver. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
   • Gradually add the ice water (or cold milk), mixing until a dough forms and becomes smooth.
   • Incorporate the olive oil (or vegetable oil) and salt into the dough. Knead until the dough is elastic and smooth.
   • Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for approximately 15 minutes.

2. Shape and Preheat:

   • After resting, punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions.
   • Roll out each portion of dough on a lightly floured surface until it reaches your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to pizza pans or baking sheets.

3. Assemble the Pizza:

   • Spread a layer of barbecue sauce and tomato sauce over each dough base.
   • Evenly distribute the thinly sliced onion, red and green bell peppers, and beef pepperoni over the sauce.
   • Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and if using, a bit of Parmesan cheese.
   • Finish with a sprinkle of oregano for added flavor.

4. Bake:

   • Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
   • Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Adjust the baking time according to your oven’s performance.

5. Serve:
