["Divide your pizza dough into two pieces, make one slightly larger than the other. The large piece will form your bottom crust and the small, your top crust.", "In a 2-inch deep jelly roll style baking pan (the dimensions should be close to 15X9 for the amount of dough you have), sprinkle the cornmeal or semolina on the bottom. Roll out the larger piece of dough for the bottom crust and lay it in the pan. Let the dough hang over the edges of the pan a bit, similar to when making a pie crust. This will make it easier to seal the top and bottom crust together before baking. Make sure to patch up tears in the dough, if any.", "Begin covering the crust with alternating layers of meats and cheeses. You should have about 3-4 meat layers and 2-3 cheese layers. For the middle layer, add the sliced hard boiled eggs.", "When the \"pie\"" is full
