I found this sentence while sentence mining oregairu I understand it, but I don't know why there is no いう after the と can someone please explain this
なんちゃってドッキリでした ～ と出ていけば それでＯＫだ

1Although と and いう are often combined to form という, と can stand alone without いう. Indeed, in this particular sentence it is wrong to use という.– user48754Jun 5, 2021 at 0:48

"いう" is abridged from The sentence.
With "いう"、you can say either "なんちゃってドッキリでした ～といいながら出ていけば それでＯＫだ" or "なんちゃってドッキリでした ～といって出ていけば それでＯＫだ".
殊勝な心がけだと褒める
is same as
殊勝な心がけだといって褒める ("admires his credible achievement")
