Step-by-Step 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 favorite 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 ground beef, then the cheese.
Step 4: Add the Toppings
Now for the fun part! Add your tomatoes, olives, cilantro, onions, and jalapeños (if using). Feel free to get creative!
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
For a keto or low-carb version:
- Use almond or coconut flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- Skip the refried beans and use tomato sauce or salsa as a base.
- Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
- Choose a low-carb cheese blend or use mozzarella with parmesan.
Tips for Pizza Perfection
- Experiment with toppings like avocado, grilled corn, or pickled jalapeños.
- Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce for extra spice.
- Preheat your oven thoroughly for a crispy crust.
- Season the ground beef to your liking!
