1 pkg (1/4 oz.) active dry yeast

1/2 cup warm water (105-115 degrees)

4 cups unbleached high-gluten flour

1 tablespoon salt

1 teaspoon ground pepper

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup warm water

Topping for each small pizza

1 teaspoon medium salsa

1 heaping tablespoon refried beans OR black beans seasoned with onions, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper

1-2 ounces lightly sauteed chorizo

1 scrambled egg

3/4 cup (3 ounces) La VacaRica brand Asadero, shredded

Instructions 1. To make dough:

f. Punch down dough, turn it out of bowl onto work surface and knead for 2 minutes. Divide dough into six equal pieces (if not using all the dough, extra can be wrapped and frozen). Roll each piece of dough into a circle 6-7 inches in diameter and about 1/8 inch thick.

2. To assemble pizza:

a. Spread salsa over crust and spread beans over salsa.

b. Layer addditional toppings in this order: Chorizo, scrambled egg, Asadero and Cotija.

c. Bake pizza in preheated 475 degree oven for 8-10 minutes until crust is brown and cheese starts to brown and is bubbly.
