Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F.
Spray 4 10-ounces oven safe ramekins with baking spray inside and on the sides of the outside, and set onto a baking sheet.
Place slices of cheese into ramekins by placing short ends of each piece of cheese in the middle of the bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce into each ramekin on top of the mozzarella cheese.
Add pizza toppings if using, being careful not to overfill the ramekins.
Add an additional 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce if desired.
Top filling with one slice of Provolone cheese.
Divide pizza dough into 4 equal size pieces and stretch each piece into circles 1 to 1 1/2 inches larger than the top of the oven safe ramekin.
Place the dough over the filling and gently press dough around the outside of the ramekins.
Place into the preheated 400 Degree oven and bake until crust is golden brown, 15 to 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and invert onto a serving plate.
Carefully remove the ramekin from the pizza pot pie. It may be necessary to run a knife around the edge of the dough to loosen it. Using tongs may be helpful with this step.

Use a yeast pizza dough.
Use only oven-safe bowls like Pyrex.
If using Italian sausage or any other raw meat, cook and cool prior to adding to the pizza pot pie.
If you need to make homemade dough, please allow at least 60 additional minutes to recipe time.

PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE I USE

Combine yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar and water in a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
Combine flour, salt, and remaining teaspoon of brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Use the dough hook on a stand mixer if available.
Once the yeast mixture is foamy on the top, add the oil and mix to combine.
Add the yeast mixture to the flour and mix on medium speed until the dough is smooth and elastic. If not using a mixer, knead the dough by hand until smooth and elastic.
Set dough aside and allow to rise for at least one hour.
This dough will develop deeper flavors as it continues to sit. If not using this dough within 2 hours place into the refrigerator and use within 4 days.
When using this recipe you may have extra dough. Use it to make additional upside pizzas, regular pizza, or cheesy breadsticks.
