How to make Premio Easy Italian Torta:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). Spray or grease bottom and sides of an 8-9 inch spring form pan. Roll 1/2 of dough into a circle and press onto bottom and up sides of pan.
2. Fill crust with remaining ingredients, except egg yolk, layering them in order of ingredients. Roll out final 1/2 of crust into an 8-inch circle and place on top of fillings, pinching seams with bottom crust to seal.
3. Make vent holes with a fork, then brush with egg yolk and bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes then remove from pan. Slice into wedges and serve.
