Pour 2 cups Warm Water into the KitchenAid mixing bowl, then sprinkle in a pinch of sugar and 1 Tablespoon Yeast.
Wait 5 minutes for the yeast to be bubbly, this will help the dough rise.
Pour 3 Cups Flour into the mixing bowl, on top of the water and yeast mixture.
Add 1 Tablespoon Salt and 4 Tablespoons Oil to the Flour.
Insert the dough hook, lock mixer, and turn on low until blended smooth.
When Flour is mixed into the wet, add 2 more Cups of Flour.
Mix the dough on low until a smooth dough ball forms, then place dough ball into a Non-Stick Sprayed medium bowl.
Filling Instructions
Place a medium bowl on the countertop and pour in 1 jar marinara sauce or 2 jars of pizza sauce.
Place a saucepan on the stove, heat to medium, then spray the pan with nonstick spray.
Add 1-pound sausage to the hot saucepan and then cook it until the sausage is completely browned.
Drain any grease from the cooked sausage and then add the sausage to the marinara in the bowl.
Shred mozzarella and cheddar cheese and then add them to the bowl.
On a cutting board, dice the ham and pepperoni if using, and then add them to the bowl.
Use a spatula and stir the Pudgy Pie Filling ingredients in the bowl.
Pudgy Pie Assembly
Lay a 6-inch piece of dough that has been rolled out with a rolling pin, onto a floured surface.
With a tablespoon, measure and add 1-2 Tablespoons Pizza Filling onto the center.
Fold over one half of the pizza dough and press the seam together, making sure it is completely closed.
Place clean Pudgy Pie Irons on a surface and spray with nonstick spray.
Lay one Pizza Pudgy Pie piece onto one side of the Pudgy Pie Irons, then lay the second piece of the iron on top the other one, locking the two together at the top.
Cook the Pizza Pudgy Pie
Place the Pudgy Pie Iron into the coals and check often. Flip the Pudgy Pie Iron when one side is done.
Open the Pudgy Pie Iron and drop the Pizza Pudgy Pie onto a plate. Let it rest for 2-5 minutes, then enjoy!
Notes
DO NOT LOCK THE PUDGY PIE IRON. When you lock the iron, it becomes incredibly hot and difficult to unlock and check your Pizza Pudgy Pie often while cooking.
