Ingredients

Filling

2 lg. eggs, well beaten
2-1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
3 cups ham, md. diced
1 cup sliced black olives
2-2/3 tbsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Crust

1 pkg. active dry yeast
2/3 cup warm water
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 to 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. cooking oil

Glaze

1 tbsp. water
1 lg. egg, beaten
1 tsp. poppy seeds

Instructions

Combine all filling ingredients the night prior and put in refrigerator.

Soften yeast in the water and set aside to proof. Combine one cup flour, the sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Beat in the softened yeast and add oil. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough. Knead for five to eight minutes on a floured surface until dough is smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl. Let rise in warm place for about one hour or until the dough doubles. Punch dough down and divide in two pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a 13-inch circle. Place one circle on a greased 12-inch pizza pan. Spread the filling on top and cover with remaining circle. Trim and flute the edges. Prick the top of the crust with a fork several times. Cover loosely with foil and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 45 minutes. Remove from oven; remove foil.

Combine glaze ingredients and brush on pie crust. Return to oven and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
