Pepperoni Pizza Pie Recipes

Steps:

• For sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients with 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl; set aside for flavors to develop while making crust. Freeze remaining paste .
• For crusts: Combine 2 cups of flour with the dry yeast, sugar and salt. Add the water and oil and mix until well blended (about 1 minute). Gradually add enough remaining flour slowly, until a soft, sticky dough ball is formed.
• Knead for about 4 minutes, on a floured surface, until dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour, if needed. (If using RapidRise® Yeast, let dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.)
• Divide dough in half. Pat each half (with floured hands) into a 12-inch greased pizza pan OR roll dough to fit pans.
• For pizzas: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Top crusts with sauce, pepperoni and cheese.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until crusts are browned and cheese is bubbly. For best results, rotate pizza pans between top and bottom oven racks halfway through baking.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Grease a 9 inch pie dish.
• In a small bowl, add the ingredients in the order listed.
• Use a slotted spoon to stir the ingredients until the batter is smooth.
• Pour into the pie dish and bake 30-35 minutes or until the center is firm.
• Let rest 5-10 minutes, cut into wedges and serve.

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:

• Heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add the pepperoni and oil and saute until the fat renders out and the pepperoni is slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the Italian seasoning and garlic and saute until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add the crushed tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste; stir and simmer for about 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F with a rack in a lower position.
• Spray the insides of four ovenproof bowls or crocks with plenty of cooking spray. Shingle 6 to 8 slices cheese inside each bowl so the bottoms touch. This creates the coveted cheese bowl effect. Place 3 to 4 mushrooms on top of the cheese. Then ladle about 1/2 cup COOLED pepperoni sauce over the mushrooms.
• Split the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion out on a lightly floured surface into 6- to 8-inch rounds. (You will want a 1-inch overhang over the side of the bowl.)
• Drape a round of dough on top of each bowl. Spray your fingertips with cooking spray and slide them around the outside edges of the bowls so that the pizzas will slide out easily after baking. Gently pull down and press the dough around the edges to create a seal. (There's no need to vent or dock it.) Place the bowls on a sheet pan.
• Bake until the crust is just SLIGHTLY golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then brush the tops with melted butter to make that crust shiny! Very gently and carefully turn over a bowl into an individual bowl or plate. Take the handle end of your fork and swipe around the inside of the crust rim to help loosen and separate it from the bowl. Lift the bowl away and witness the miracle of this cheesy behemoth. Top with some giardiniera, if you like. Repeat with the remaining pot pies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Fry sausage in heavy medium skillet over medium heat until cooked through, turning occasionally, Drain. Dice sausage.
• Dust 1 side of 1 crust with 1 teaspoon flour. Gently transfer crust to 9-inch-diameter pie pan, floured side down. Press into pan. Arrange half of mozzarella over bottom of crust. Spread 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce over mozzarella. Sprinkle half of Jack cheese atop sauce. Drizzle 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce over cheese. Top with half of pepperoni and half of sausage. Repeat layering with remaining mozzarella, 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce, remaining Jack cheese, pepperoni and sausage. Sprinkle with olives and drizzle with remaining 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce. Top with remaining pie crust. Pinch edges of crust together to seal. Crimp edges to make decorative border. Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let pie stand 30 minutes before serving.

Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky)., Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes., On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 15-in. circle. Transfer to a greased 14-in. pizza pan, letting dough drape over the edge. Cut string cheese pieces in half lengthwise; place around edge of pan. Fold dough over string cheese; pinch to seal., Prick dough thoroughly with a fork. Brush with remaining oil; sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Bake at 425° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown., In a small saucepan, combine the sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Make up the pizza base following pack instructions. Knead on a lightly floured surface and divide into 2 balls, 1 slightly bigger than the other. Roll out the bigger ball to about 32cm diameter. Place on a floured baking sheet or pizza tray.
• Top the pizza base with the pasta sauce, pepperoni, onion, pepper, mozzarella, oregano, 1 tbsp of the Parmesan and a little black pepper.
• Roll the smaller piece of dough to about 28cm diameter and place on top of the pizza filling. Fold the edge of the base over the top, pressing the edges together to seal - use a little water to help stick if you need to. Sprinkle over the remaining Parmesan and bake for 15 mins until puffed and golden.
