Description

The cornmeal crust and fire roasted tomatoes are a great twist on a traditional pizza and nicely compliment the Mexican toppings.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CORNMEAL CRUST:
  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 1-¼ teaspoon Regular Active Dry Yeast
  • ¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ¾ cups Warm Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ⅓ cups Yellow Cornmeal (plus Some Additional For Rolling Out The Dough)
  • FOR THE TOPPINGS:
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese, Shredded
  • 1 can Diced Fire Roasted Tomatoes, Drained (14.5oz)
  • 1-½ cup Cooked Chicken, Diced
  • ½ cups Black Beans
  • ½ cups Corn
  • ½ whole Red Or Orange Bell Pepper, Chopped
  • 1 whole Jalapeno, Seeded And Chopped
  • 4 whole Green Onions, Chopped
  • Chopped Fresh Cilantro, For Garnish (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, mix half of the flour (3/4 cup), sugar, yeast and salt. Stir in the warm water and oil. Beat on low speed for about 30 seconds. Increase to high speed and beat an additional 1 minute. Stir in 1/3 cup cornmeal and remaining 3/4 cup flour.

On a lightly floured surface knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a lightly greased bowl and cover it. Rest dough for 10 minutes.

Sprinkle additional cornmeal on parchment paper and roll out dough to create your desired shape. Transfer to baking surface, I use a pizza stone. Prick dough with a fork.

Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or just until edges begin to turn brown. Remove from oven and top with 1/2 cup mozzarella and 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, tomatoes, chicken, black beans, corn, bell pepper and jalapeno, then cover with remaining shredded cheese.

Bake 6-8 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with green onions and cilantro.
