Place the flour
in a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the flour and mix lightly,
add the eggs, the milk and the salt and knead together.Work the dough
for 15 minutes until it comes together into a ball. Cover with a damp
towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.Turn out of the bowl and cut
off about ¼ of the dough and set aside. With your hands push
the dough into a rough rectang- ular shape and then roll the dough
as thin as possible. The dough should cover the bottom of the ovenproof
dish, and up the sides about 3 centimeters. Gently place the dough
in the ovenproof dish.
Place
the sausage evenly over the dough. Then layer the eggs and the Buffalo
mozzarella over the sausage. Pour the beaten eggs over all.
Roll
the remaining ¼ dough into a rectangle and slice into ½
centimeter strips. With one or two of the strips line the outside
edge of the dish, pushing the dough together with the dough on the
bottom. Then place strips of dough diagonally across the dish 2-3
centimeters apart.
Bake
at 350 degrees (or medium oven) for 30 minutes. Then raise the oven
temperature to 400 degrees for the last 15 minutes of baking time
to brown the top crust.
Let
the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
