A golden, flaky crust encasing a savory filling of seasoned ground beef, spicy sausage, and pepperoni, all blanketed in a gooey layer of melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 ½ cups All-purpose flour
1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) Active dry yeast
1 cup Warm water (about 110°F)
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 pound Ground beef
1 pound Sausage (preferably Italian)
1 cup Pepperoni slices
2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Dried oregano
to taste Pepper
1 medium Onion, chopped
3 cloves Garlic, minced
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center, add the yeast mixture and olive oil, then mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onions and garlic until soft. Add ground beef and sausage, cooking until browned. Drain excess fat.
Mix in pepperoni, oregano, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the risen dough to fit a 9-inch deep pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides.
Layer the beef mixture in the crust, followed by mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Roll out another piece of dough for the top crust, sealing the edges well. Cut slits for steam to escape.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
