Claires Pepperoni Pie Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13X9 inch baking dish.
• 2. In a large bowl mix together the first 8 ingredients, everything except the marinara sauce. Pour into greased pan.
• 3. Bake 30 minutes, lightly pat extra grease with a paper towel. Cool slightly, cut into squares and serve,it's also good at room temperature. You can put marinara sauce on the side, but most times no one uses it.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 460 degrees.
• Put one of the crusts on the pizza stone in the oven for 4 minutes then remove.
• On pizza crust, apply 4 oz. of sauce (or how much you want) then add desired amount of pepperoni, and then top with the desired amount of cheese which I add about 4oz or so.
• Return to pizza to the oven on the stone and bake about 10 minutes or until cheese is all melted.
• Cut into squares and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• 2. In a large skillet, over medium heat, sauté onion and red pepper in oil until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add basil, oregano, tomato sauce and pepperoni; simmer 5 minutes.
• 3. In small bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan cheese and 1 egg; mix well.
• 4. On lightly floured surface, roll half of dough into 14-inch circle. Place in bottom of 9-inch pie plate. Spoon hot pepperoni mixture over bottom crust. Spoon ricotta mixture evenly over pepperoni; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Roll second half of dough into a 14-inch circle; place on top of filling. Fold edge of top crust under bottom crust; flute to seal. With the tines of a fork, make puncture marks across the top of the crust for steam to escape. In small bowl, combine 1 egg and water; brush over crust. (This gives the crust a nice shiny, golden look!)
• 5. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes or until the crust is a golden brown and filling is bubbling through puncture holes.
• 6. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Makes 8 servings.
