Yield: 6 Servings

25 30 55

Ingredients

1-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1-3/4 to 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Featured Sponsor
2 teaspoons taco seasoning
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup fat-free refried beans
1 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, salt and 1 cup flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add taco seasoning and water; bring to a boil. Stir in refried beans; heat through.
Punch dough down; roll into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to a 12-in. pizza pan coated with cooking spray; build up edges slightly. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Dot with oil. Spread beef mixture over dough. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. Sprinkle with tomatoes, onion, olives and cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Yield: 6 servings.

This pizza was amazing!! We'll be making it again for sure!

I did change a few things...

I bought premade dough at my grocery store and put everything on the pizza (including jalapeno slices) at the same time and cooked it at 500 until the crust was golden brown. We also topped it with a small drizzle of taco sauce after it cooled! Soo yummy!
