Meatless Monday Pizza

My dear friend Stephanie, has a famous pizza.  Many of our friends have used this recipe and I finally made it a couple weeks ago.  My husband doesn't like corn, so we had to revise and add our own twist, and we love the end result!

Meatless Monday Pizza

Ingredients:

1 can Black Beans, rinsed and drained

1 1/2 c.ish Shredded Carrots

1 tomato, chopped

1/4 c. finely chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 c (4oz) shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/4c (4oz) Provel Cheese-best pizza cheese!

Couple Garlic Cloves pressed

Basil paste 

Garlic Salt/Powder

Crust:

1 c. warm water

1 Tbsp white sugar

2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast

3 Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 c wheat flour

1 c. all purpose flour (I use a bit more)

Procedure:

Stir water, sugar, and yeast together until dissolved. Add the olive oil and salt. Stir in the flour until well blended. Let dough rise for 10 min. Pat dough into pan using fingers dipped in olive oil. Spread Basil paste on dough and sprinkle garlic salt or powder all over, especially on the edges. Add beans, the I like to combine the carrots, garlic, jalapeno. Then add tomato and cheeses.  Bake for about 15 min. (until cheese is melted and lighly browned) at 425.
