Add flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and pepper to a large bowl. Mix well using a whisk.
To the same bowl, add olive oil, 2 eggs & ½ the water. Use your hands to start to mix the dough. Slowly start to add the rest of the water and continue to work the dough with your hands. If the dough is still too dry, add 1 tbsp of water at a time. You should not need more than ½ cup of water.
Sprinkle some flour onto a flat surface. Drop the dough onto the surface & knead for a minute or two. Divide the dough into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Roll both pieces into balls.
Add a few tablespoons of flour to 2 small bowls. Place the balls into each bowl, cover with plastic wrap & let sit at room temp for at least an hour.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Add all the filling ingredients to a large bowl & mix well.
Lightly grease a 10-inch springform pan with olive oil.
When the dough is ready, place the dough onto a floured surface. Roll the larger piece into a 16-inch circle. Roll the other into a 12-inch circle.
Place the 16-inch piece into the springform pan, allowing for 1 inch to hang over.
Add the filling, top with 2nd layer, fold over the edges, brush with egg wash, pierce with a fork, and bake for 45 min to 1 hour or until the crust is golden brown.
