Taco Pizza - water

Method

• NOTE: This recipe makes approximately two 12 inch-ish pizzas, one large cookie sheet size pizza, or eight-ish personal pizzas.
• If you dont need that much pizza, you can easily freeze half the dough and half the meat mixture for another time.
• Just put the extra portions in freezer bags and chuck them in the freezer.
• WOO!
• Easy pizza on a lazy day!
• Just remember if youre only using half, you only need half the cheese.
• Unless youre a cheese lover that is.
• Then go ahead and use however much you want!
• Combine the water, yeast, sugar, and 1 cup of the flour in a large bowl.
• Mix well.
• Add the oil, salt, and remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough holds its shape.
• Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 10 minutes.
• If the dough becomes sticky, sprinkle a little flour over it.
• Form the dough into a ball and plop it in a lightly oiled bowl (twice the size of the ball).
• Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size.
• Once the dough has risen, place it on a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to get out any air bubbles.
• Cover with a towel while you prepare the meat sauce.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brown the beef over medium heat, breaking it up into bitty pieces (I mash mine with a potato masher) until well browned, and drain off the grease.
• Stir in the taco seasoning, enchilada sauce, water, and sliced olives.
• Cover and let simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Cut the dough into two or eight (or however many you want actually bite size pizzas?)
• equal pieces or leave whole if youre making one large pizza.
• Roll out each piece to about 1/3 inch thick (thinner if you like thin crust or thicker if you like thick) and place on an oiled cookie sheet or pizza pan.
• Divide the meat mixture and cheese evenly on each crust.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until the pizza(s) are ooey and gooey and bubbly and brown.
• Remove from the oven, cut into pieces, and top with the taco toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, etc).
• Enjoy!
