Ingredients:

For the crust:

• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the toppings:

1/2 cup refried beans

• 1/2 cup diced cooked chicken (or beans for a vegetarian option)
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
• 1 jalapeño pepper, diced
• 1 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or Cheddar work well)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Salsa, sour cream, and avocado or guacamole for toppings (optional)

Recipe:

1. Make the crust: In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until frothy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. Preheat and shape the crust: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the dough and shape into a circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Place on a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
3. Spread the toppings: Spread refried beans over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with chicken (or beans), onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño.
4. Add cheese and bake: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the toppings. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Finish with fresh toppings: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Add your desired toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, and avocado or guacamole. Use a heart-shaped cutter to optionally cut the pizza.
