Black Bean Pizza Dough
From our good friend Bean at The Pizza Therapy Forum I make the dough in my bread machine and add 2 t. olive oil. The second time I made it I added cumin and chopped jalapenos to the dough & it turned out awesome! The leftover black beans make a great ‘sauce’ for the pizza mixed with seasonings. I have used this for a chicken fajita and taco pizza. Black Bean Pizza Dough 1 teaspoon active dry yeast (I used 2 t.) 2 cups bread flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup lukewarm water 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) 1/4 cup pureed black beans (if use canned beans, rinse and drain first) Combine and knead all ingredients (I use my bread machine). Let rise 50-60 minutes. Roll dough on a cornmeal-covered counter. Place dough in pizza pan. For a thin, crispy crust, place toppings on dough and bake immediately. For a thicker, chewier crust, allow dough to rise 15-30 minutes before adding toppings. Place pizza on the bottom rack of oven (Preheated to 500 degrees) 5-10 minutes. Thanks, Bean. Pi...
