Taco Pizza with Homemade Pizza Dough
- 1 package (1/4 Oz. Size) Dry Active Yeast
- 1/2 teaspoons Brown Sugar
- 1- 1/2 cup Warm Water, 110 Degrees F
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 4 cups Flour
- 1 cup Refried Beans (Canned)
- 1/4 cups Taco Sauce
- 1/4 cups Pizza Sauce
- 1/2 pounds Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
- 1 pound Ground Beef, Browned Then Mixed With Below Taco Seasoning Mix
- 1 package (1 Oz. Size) Taco Seasoning Mix
- 1/2 pounds Colby-Jack Cheese, Shredded
- 1 bag (8 Oz. Size) Shredded Lettuce
- 1 drop Sour Cream, For Topping If Desired
- 1 dash Taco Sauce, For Topping If Desired
- 1 bag (12 Oz. Size) Taco-flavored Doritos
- For the pizza crust dough: In a small cup or bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the warm water and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Then stir in salt and olive oil.
- Pour this mixture onto 3 cups of flour that have been measured out into a bowl.
- Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface.
- Measure out the remaining flour and slowly start kneading it in.
- As I said, the dough should not be sticky.
- You may need more or less flour, so just keep kneading and adding the flour slowly until its no longer sticky.
- Place the dough into a well oiled bowl, cover with a dish cloth, and place in a warm, dry place and let it rise for an hour.
- I always keep my dough in the microwave so its out of the way!
- After the hour is up, the dough should be significantly larger.
- Punch it down, and then dump it out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Cut the dough into two equal pieces.
- Roll out both sections of dough with your hands or a floured rolling pin.
- If youre using your hands, gently press down and out onto the dough, until its a large circle!
- I think our dough was about 1/2 inch thick.
- For the pizza sauce: In a medium sized bowl mix together refried beans, taco sauce, and pizza sauce.
- Set aside.
- To assemble the pizza: Preheat oven with 2 pizza stones inside for 15 minutes at 425 F.
- Top each piece of dough with pizza sauce leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Top the sauce with mozzarella cheese, then add the ground beef (browned and then mixed with taco seasoning), and then colby jack.
- Move the pizzas onto the hot stones using a pizza peel.
- Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted!
- Cut with a pizza cutter and top with desired topping!
- We always top with shredded lettuce, sour cream, taco sauce, and crushed taco flavored Doritos, but the possibilities are endless!
