BBQ Black Bean Pizza

If Chris had it his way, we'd eat pizza for dinner every night.  Luckily, there are a variety of pizzas I like and tonight I finally made a new type that I bookmarked a year ago from Food Doodles.  I wish I hadn't waited so long because it's a really good pizza!

 

   

BBQ Black Bean Pizza

 

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients (12" pizza)

Dough

• 1 package (2 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees)
• 2 1/2 cups bread flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt

Toppings

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 sweet pepper (or 8oz mini sweet peppers), chopped
• 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
• 15oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

• Place pizza stone in oven and heat to 450 degrees.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the yeast, honey and warm water together. Let sit for a few minutes until creamy.
• With the paddle attachment, mix in bread flour, olive oil and salt. Once combined, change to dough hook and knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and peppers; cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Roll out dough to form a 12-inch round, 1/4-inch thick crust. Using a fork, poke holes in the crust to prevent it from bubbling.
• Remove the pizza stone from the oven and transfer the dough onto the hot stone. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven.
• Leaving a 1/2-inch border, spread BBQ sauce on crust. Next, add the cooked onion and pepper mixture. Next, spread black beans evenly and finally top with cheese.
• Return the pizza stone to the oven, and bake for 10 additional minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
