Cook Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 loaves frozen bread dough, thawed
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded, fresh, Parmesan cheese
- 5 slices of bacon
- 5 chorizo sausages, casings removed
- 1/2 cup diced white onions
- 1/4 cup diced green pepper
- 5 slices each, pepper salami, capicola, calabrese salami
- 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp dried chiles
- Fry the bacon over medium heat in a non-stick skillet, turning every minute and a half so they don't curl up.
- In the same pan, saute the Chorizo sausages until they're almost cooked through.
- Add the diced onions and green peppers and continue to saute until the chorizo is completely cooked and the vegetables have softened. Set that aside.
- Roll out a loaf of thawed bread dough - use a little cornmeal to keep it from sticking - and then place into a well oiled deep dish pie plate. Press it down but don't worry if there's a little air in the bottom, your other ingredients are going to weigh it down.
- Brush the dough with a quarter cup of pizza sauce and then cover with 1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese, and a quarter cup of Parmesan cheese. Top that with the cooked onions, peppers, and Chorizo and, using your hands, press it all down into the plate.
- Lay the slices of Italian meats over top.
- Roll out another half loaf of bread dough and stretch it across the top of the pie. Seal, cut off any additional dough, and crimp the edges.
- Cover the top with another quarter cup of pizza sauce, the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheeses, the Italian seasoning and the chilies.
- Bake in a pre-heated 400 degree (200 c, or gas mark 6) for 22-25 minutes until golden (don't worry if you get a little air into the top, just make a slit with a sharp knife and let it out).
- Let cool 10-15 minutes and than place a plate over top and flip to remove from the pan. Flip again onto a cutting board and, using a sharp knife, cut into wedges.
