To shave hours off the long proofing period for traditional grandma pie dough, this recipe calls for instant yeast rather than active-dry. As a result you’ll only need to set aside 40 total minutes for the focaccia-like base to rest and rise before topping and baking. The simple toppings are inspired by Philly tomato pie; because canned tomato sauce is a key player, use a brand with a pure tomato flavor, like organic Muir Glen.
