Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pizza Dough
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add olive oil and warm water, mixing until a dough forms.
Step 2: Roll Out the Dough
Lightly flour a surface. Roll out the dough into a circle (or your desired shape!), about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3: Assemble the Pizza
Transfer the dough to a greased baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread refried beans evenly, leaving a small border. Add the cooked ground beef, then the shredded cheese.
Step 4: Add the Toppings
Time for the fun part! Add your diced tomatoes, olives, cilantro, red onions, and jalapeños (if using). Customize to your liking!
Step 5: Bake and Serve
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Keto and Low-Carb Variations
Making it keto-friendly? Here are a few swaps:
- Use almond flour or coconut flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- Skip the refried beans; use a thin layer of tomato sauce or salsa instead.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
- Use a low-carb cheese blend or mozzarella with parmesan.
Tips for Pizza Perfection
- Experiment with toppings! Avocado, grilled corn, or pickled jalapeños are all delicious additions.
- For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
- Preheat your oven thoroughly for a crispy crust.
- Season the ground beef to your preference!
