If needed, add a small amount of warm water as needed to bring the dough together in the bowl.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce and topping. In a medium bowl combine the crushed tomatoes, black and rep pepper, salt, garlic powder, and dried basil.

After 1 hour separate dough into 2 portions to make 2 deep crusts. On a lightly flour surface roll out to line a 10-12 inch deep pan. Press the crust firmly into the pan and up the sides.

Line the bottom of the both pans with 3 slices of provolone cheese each. Then add a few slices of tomatoes and garlic slices to each pan. Add the tomato mixture. On top of the tomato mixture add a few more slices of garlic and tomatoes to each pan. Then top both pans with the Romano/Oregano mixture.

Place the pies in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes
