Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 28-ounce can Crushed tomatoes, canned
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Pepperoni slices or other toppings
- 1 unit Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix. Divide the dough in half, shape each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, and basil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10–15 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside to cool.
On a floured surface, roll out one dough disk into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough into the dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and up the sides.
Spread 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the bottom of the crust. Pour in the prepared tomato sauce and spread it out evenly. Add your toppings (such as pepperoni or vegetables), followed by the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
Roll out the second dough disk into a circle large enough to cover the top of the pie. Place it over the filling, trimming and crimping the edges to seal. Use a sharp knife to cut a few small vents in the top to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden, glossy finish.
Bake the pizza pie in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade pizza pie!
