Ingredients
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
6 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon salt
1 lb ground beef or beef-based Italian sausage
1 ½ cups marinara sauce
1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
¼ cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 cup bell peppers, diced
½ cup onion, chopped
½ cup mushrooms, sliced
12 slices beef pepperoni (optional)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water and knead until a dough forms. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, onions, peppers, and mushrooms. Cook until the meat is browned and vegetables are tender. Drain excess grease.
Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Remove from heat.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the dough. Place a portion of the meat mixture into individual ramekins or a pie dish, top with mozzarella and pepperoni, then cover with a round of prepared pie dough. Seal the edges.
Brush the top with a beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can substitute beef pepperoni with vegetarian pepperoni slices or extra vegetables to keep it halal. For a crispier crust, ensure your butter and water are ice cold before mixing. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
