Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Pie
A classic deep-dish pizza, robust and satisfying, with a crispy golden crust and a rich, savory filling. Perfect for a late-night shift (or just a hungry crowd) and hearty enough to keep you on your toes. The 'pepperoni eyes' add a playful touch to this comforting dish.
Directions
- 1
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
- 3
Mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- 4
Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- 5
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9-inch deep-dish pizza pan or a cast iron skillet.
- 6
Punch down the risen dough and carefully press it into the prepared pan, pushing it up the sides to form a crust. Brush a thin layer of olive oil over the crust.
- 7
Spread tomato sauce evenly over the bottom of the crust. Layer with mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan cheeses.
- 8
Arrange pepperoni or salami slices and black olives on top of the cheese layer, creating a face-like pattern if desired. Sprinkle with dried oregano and red pepper flakes.
- 9
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your hearty pizza pie!
