Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough to fit a 12-inch pizza pan.

  2. 2

    Layer the Cheese

    Spread the fior di latte cheese evenly over the bottom of the rolled-out dough.

  3. 3

    Add the Meats

    Layer the pepperoni slices and crumbled Italian sausage over the cheese.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, mix the crushed Italian plum tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Top the Pie

    Pour the tomato sauce mixture evenly over the meat layers, ensuring it covers the pie well.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pie from the oven, sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top, slice, and serve hot.
