Tender crust and irresistible Mexican toppings are a winning combination in this south-of-the-border pizza.
CRUST
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 to 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup beer, room temperature
1/4 cup oil
TOPPING
1 (16-ounce) can refried beans
1 pound ground beef
1/3 cup chopped onions
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (4 1/2-ounce) can chopped green chilies, undrained
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded Cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese
1 medium red bell pepper or green bell pepper, cut into strips
3 to 4 pitted ripe olives, sliced, if desired
Dairy sour cream, if desired
Taco sauce or picante salsa, if desired
Heat oven to 400°F. Grease 14-inch pizza pan or 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan; sprinkle with cornmeal. In large bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, beer and oil; mix well. By hand, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup all-purpose flour to form a stiff dough. On floured surface, knead in remaining all-purpose flour until dough is smooth and elastic, 2 to 3 minutes. On lightly floured surface, roll dough to 14-inch circle. Place over cornmeal in greased pan; press dough to fit pan evenly.
Spread refried beans over dough. In large skillet, brown ground beef until thoroughly cooked; drain well. Add onion, tomato sauce and green chiles; blend well. Spoon meat mixture over refried beans; top with cheese, bell pepper and olives. Bake at 400°F. for 25 to 35 minutes or until crust is light golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sour cream or taco sauce.
