- Make the crust: In a large bowl, mix the flour with the pepper and salt. Add the lard and, using your fingers, break it into small pieces. Add the oil, eggs, and 3 tablespoons water and mix to form a smooth dough. Cut ⅓ of the crust off into a ball and flatten both pieces into discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Make the filling: Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into smaller pieces using a wooden spoon, until brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, then transfer to a bowl with the ricotta, ham, mozzarella, pepperoni, salami, parmesan, and 6 eggs and stir to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat the oven to 350°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the larger piece of dough out into a 13-inch circle. Form the circle into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan, leaving about 1-inch overhanging. Add the filling into an even layer. Roll out the smaller ball of dough into a 9 ½-inch circle and lay on top of the filling. Crimp the dough to seal. Mix the remaining egg with the milk in a small bowl and brush on the top of the pie. Bake for 30 minutes, then decrease the temperature to 300°F and bake for an additional 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool, then remove the pie from the springform pan. Cut into wedges to serve.
