Baked Pizza Pie

 

2 Packages of easy mix pizza crust*

1 cup Pizza Sauce (or leftover pasta sauce!)

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella

Desired veggies or meats (Pictured with PEPPERONI!)

1 egg + 1 tbsp water (egg wash)

*Making crust from scratch is definitely encouraged but takes much longer!

Preheat Oven to 375ºF.  Mix the two pizza crust packages in separate bowls. Grease a pie pan with olive oil.  Roll out the two crust mixes, but keep separate!  Place on of the two crusts into pie pan, and lightly press down into sides.  Fill crust with sauce, cheese, and any desired toppings.  Works great to layer these items at least twice!  Brush the edges with the egg wash and cover the pie with the remaining pizza crust.  Slice slits into top to vent, clamp down edges to seal the two crusts, and brush the top with the egg wash.  Bake at least 30 minutes (45-50 at 325ºF if raw sausage or beef has

been used!)
