Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 100 slices pepperoni slices
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese
• 1.5 cups tomato sauce
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 unit egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Roll out one sheet of puff pastry into a 12-inch circle or square, depending on your desired pie shape. Repeat for the second sheet.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Set aside.

Step 4

Place one rolled-out pastry on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon half the tomato sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 5

Sprinkle half the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the tomato sauce.

Step 6

Layer half the pepperoni slices on top. Sprinkle with half the garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

Step 7

Repeat the layers with the remaining sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and seasonings.

Step 8

Carefully place the second pastry sheet over the layered filling. Press the edges together to seal, then crimp with a fork for a decorative edge.

Step 9

Brush the top of the pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, cut a few small slits in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 12

Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
