• 2 tsp. dried oregano
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium red bell peppers, finely diced
• 2 medium yellow bell peppers, finely diced
• 2 lbs. loose breakfast sausage
• All-purpose flour, for dusting
• 2 (17.3-oz.) packages frozen puff pastry (4 sheets total), thawed

• 48 pepperoni slices
• 18 slices mozzarella

How To Make Pioneer Woman Ranch Pizza Pie

1. Prepare the Fillings: Heat 3 Tbsp. olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until softened and slightly browned, about 20 minutes. Stir in oregano, garlic, red bell peppers, and yellow bell peppers; cook for 5 more minutes. Set aside to cool for 20 minutes. In another large cast-iron skillet, heat the remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage, breaking it into small bits with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, 10–15 minutes. Set aside to cool for 20 minutes.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet to about 13 inches long and 10 inches wide. Place one sheet on each of two parchment-lined baking sheets. Set aside the other two sheets.
3. Assemble the First Pie: Whisk 1 egg with 1 Tbsp. water to make an egg wash. Sprinkle 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese over one puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Layer with half the cooled onion-pepper mixture, half the sausage, half the pepperoni, and half the mozzarella slices. Brush the pastry border with egg wash. Lay a second puff pastry sheet over the top and crimp the edges with a fork. Cut three 1 1/2-inch vents in the top with a sharp paring knife. Refrigerate the pie for 30 minutes to chill.
4. Assemble the Second Pie: Repeat the layering process with the remaining puff pastry sheets and ingredients on the second baking sheet. Wrap this pie in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil, and freeze for later use, or prepare to bake immediately.
5. Bake the First Pie: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C/gas 7). Brush the chilled pie with egg wash. Bake on the bottom rack for about 20 minutes, until the pastry is nicely browned.
6. Bake the Frozen Pie (if using): When ready to bake the second pie, preheat the oven to 425°F. Unwrap the pie, brush with a fresh egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 Tbsp. water), and bake from frozen on the bottom rack for about 30 minutes, until nicely browned.
7. Serve: Slice and serve warm, optionally with a side salad or dipping sauce.

Recipe Tips

• Why chill or freeze the pie before baking? Chilling or freezing helps the puff pastry maintain its flaky texture and prevents the filling from leaking.
• Can I make this ahead? Assemble and freeze one or both pies for up to 1 month. Bake from frozen, adding about 10 extra minutes to the baking time.
• How do I prevent a soggy pastry? Ensure the fillings are cooled before assembling to avoid excess moisture, and bake on the bottom rack for a crisp base.
• Can I customize the fillings? Substitute sausage with ground beef or turkey, or add veggies like mushrooms or spinach for variety.

What To Serve With Pioneer Woman Ranch Pizza Pie
