Put ricotta and eggs into a large bowl and stir until well mixed.
Blend in all other ingredients.
Slice the sausage into rounds about
3/8 inch
thick. Brown in a
little oil until cooked through. Drain, and discard grease.
Cut the salami and ham slices into strips about
1¼ inches long.
Make or thaw or unwrap the pizza dough.
Mix the meats into the cheese filling. Roll the dough into two disks,
one large enough to line a
10-inch
round cake pan, the other large enough to
cover it. Put the larger piece into the lightly-floured cake pan, molding it
so that it completely lines the pan, with at least
½ inch
hanging over the edge.
Fill with the cheese-meat mixture. To allow for expansion, fill to about
½ inch
below the top of the pan. Wet the exposed dough edge with
egg white, place the other piece of dough on top, and pinch the two pieces
together. Trim neatly to make a seal. Brush egg yolk over the
top of the pie (this will brown during baking). Puncture the top
of pie in several places with a knife (make sure the holes are large
enough not to close up during baking). Bake at
350°F.
for about an
hour, until the top is browned but not burned. Remove from pan and cool on
a wire rack. Serve at room temperature.
