Black Olive & Provolone Grandma Pie

Adapted from an internet recipe.
Sounds good. A Grandma Pie is a square/rectangular pizza that is easy on the toppings, not the huge monstrosities that I normally make. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Notes section.

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 recipe Grandma Style Pie Dough, Shortcut
  • 340 grams Mozzarella Cheese, shredded, (12 oz)
  • 120 grams Provolone cheese, shredded, (6 oz)
  • 1½ cups pasta sauce, Shortcut
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup black olives, oil cured or brined is fine, coarsely chopped
  • red pepper flakes, for serving, optional
  • ½ cup olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Take the prepared dough out of the fridge, coat a 18x13 inch rimmed baking sheet with the olive oil. Gently and gradually stretch dough until it reaches the edges of baking sheet. (If dough springs back or is stiff to work with, let it rest 10 minutes before continuing. You may need to let it rest more than once.)
  • Preheat your oven to 250° C (480° F).
  • Cover dough on baking sheet tightly with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place until it is puffed and full of air bubbles, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Once dough has risen in baking sheet, top with mozzarella and provolone, dot pie with tomato sauce, and top with the onion and olives.
  • Bake until golden brown and crisp on bottom and sides, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Cut into squares and serve.
