Taco Pizza with Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

Well recently my sister in law was staying with us for a few days while she was in the process of moving. One night she wanted Taco Pizza for dinner, and I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to actually write up the recipe I have for this.If I had some chia seeds they would have gone into the dough, but sadly I don't have any at the moment.

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

1/2 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp yeast
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup warm water
2 tbsp chilli olive oil (or regular)
1 tbsp agave syrup

Preparation:

Combine water, yeast, and agave syrup to activate the yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Form into a ball, cover with a lint free towel and place in a warm place to rise until it doubles in size.

The dough is quick rising so begin the topping preparation while the dough rises.

Taco Pizza

Yield: 1 pizza

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef, cooked
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 can tomato paste
2 tbsp Club House Tex Mex seasoning
1 tomato, sliced
1 shallot, sliced thin
2 jalapenos, slice thin (this makes a spicy pizza, use less for a milder pizza)
1/2 romaine heart, shredded
2 1/2 cups grated mozza and cheddar cheeses
1/3 cup sour cream
2 tbsp 1% milk

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Cook the ground beef  over medium heat and the taco seasoning following the package instructions.

While the ground beef cooks, prepare the remainder of the toppings.

Coat the pizza stone or bake sheet with cornmeal, roll out the dough, and place it on the pizza stone.

 The dough before it was rolled out.

The dough place on the pizza stone coated in cornmeal.

Mix the tomato paste and tex mex seasoning together and spread out over the crust, leaving the edges free.

 Sprinkle a small amount of cheese on the tomato paste.

 Add the ground beef with the taco seasoning. Roll up the edges.

 Top with tomato slices.

 Add the jalapenos an shallots.

Top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and beginning to brown.

After the pizza comes out of the oven top with the shredded lettuce and sour cream/milk mixture. The sour cream and milk are mixed together so that the sour cream is easier to drizzle on the pizza.
