Step-by-Step Instructions
Making this Pizza Pot Pie is a satisfying experience that brings together the best of baking and comfort food. First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it warms up, I take the pizza dough out of the fridge to make it easier to work with. Roll out your dough on a floured surface until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Gently place it in the greased pie dish, leaving some overhang for the top crust. If you’re wondering about how to get it just right, don’t worry; it doesn’t have to be perfect! Just aim for a nice even layer. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
