Linda Loda - Elk Grove Village, Illinois
Bake-Off® Contest 33, 1988
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.
