        \ud83d\udd2a Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n

        Step 1: Make the Crust<\/h3>\n

        In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, until dough comes together.<\/p>\n

        <\/div>\n

        Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

        <\/div>\n

        Step 2: Cook the Meat Mixture<\/h3>\n

        In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, sausage, onions, and garlic until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.<\/p>\n

        <\/div>\n

        Stir in pizza sauce, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5\u20137 minutes. Let cool slightly.<\/p>\n

        <\/div>\n

        Step 3: Preheat the Oven<\/h3>\n

        Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C) .<\/p>\n

        <\/div>\n

        Step 4: Roll Out the Dough<\/h3>\n

        On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a large circle. Fit into a deep 9-inch pie dish, pressing gently into the bottom and sides.<\/p>\n

        <\/div>\n

        Step 5: Assemble the Pie<\/h3>\n

        Pour the cooled meat mixture into the crust. Top evenly with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices.<\/p>\n

        <\/div>\n

        Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the top. Seal the edges and crimp with a fork. Cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.<\/p>\n

        <\/div>\n

        Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.<\/p>\n

        <\/div>\n

        Step 6: Bake Until Golden<\/h3>\n

        Bake for 35\u201340 minutes , or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.<\/p>\n

        <\/div>\n

        Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.<\/p>\n
