Instructions
Pizza Dough
In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup of flour, yeast, salt, sugar, oregano and garlic.
Add water and oil and stir until combined — it will be a very wet dough.
Add just enough of the remaining flour so that a soft but not sticky dough forms. Add the flour gradually and knead briefly until combined so that you can feel when it is ready — it will still be soft (not feel firm or tough) but won’t stick to your hands. To knead, simply press the flour into the dough, fold the dough and press, fold and press.
Place in a lightly greased bowl and set covered in a warm, draft-free place to rise until doubled, about 40 minutes.
Taco Pizza
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a medium skillet, fry ground beef until cooked through. Drain any remaining liquid or fat.
Stir in taco seasoning and set aside.
Roll out pizza dough so that it is just larger than your pizza pan (it will make one 12" pizza). Place pizza dough on a lightly greased pizza pan and fold the edges over to form a thicker crust, pinching down to seal.
In a medium bowl, stir together refried beans and salsa. Spread over the pizza dough on the pan.
Top with seasoned ground beef and top with cheese.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until light golden brown.
Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, tortilla chips, sour cream or jalapenos as desired and serve.
