Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Lightly flour a clean work surface. Place the sourdough pizza dough on the floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12x18 inches.

Evenly spread the shredded mozzarella cheese over the entire surface of the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border along all edges.

Arrange the pepperoni slices in a single layer over the shredded cheese.

Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough with the fillings into a log shape. Ensure it's rolled as tightly as possible to prevent fillings from escaping.

Gently bring the two ends of the dough log together to form a ring or wreath shape. Pinch the ends firmly to seal them together, ensuring there are no gaps.

Carefully transfer the dough wreath onto the prepared baking sheet with parchment paper.

Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, make cuts from the outer edge of the wreath towards the center, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart. Do not cut all the way through the inner circle of the wreath; leave the center intact (about 1 inch of uncut dough in the middle).

Gently twist or fan out each cut section slightly to expose the cheesy and pepperoni fillings. This creates the 'pull-apart' effect.

Brush the top surface of the wreath with olive oil and then sprinkle generously with Italian seasoning.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the wreath is golden brown, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the dough is cooked through. If the top browns too quickly, you can loosely tent it with foil.

Once baked, remove the wreath from the oven. If desired, place a small, oven-safe bowl of warmed marinara sauce in the center of the wreath before serving.

Serve warm, allowing guests to pull apart individual sections and dip them into the marinara sauce.
