Ingredients
- 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed (I have dried black beans cooking in the slow-cooker today instead.)
- 1/2 cup chopped jarred roasted red peppers
- 1 medium clove garlic, quartered
- 1 tablespoon chili powder (This amount made me choke and cough. I had to add a lot more beans to counteract it. Next time I'll use 1 tsp to start and add more to taste.)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Yellow cornmeal, for dusting
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (I'll be using a mixture of pepper jack and cheddar.)
- 2 medium plum tomatoes, diced
- 4 medium scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped pitted ripe black olives
- 2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeños
- Whole wheat pizza dough
1. Prepare Whole Wheat Pizza Dough up to a day in advance (it takes over an hour to prepare, including rising time).
2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll out prepared dough on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle cornmeal on a pizza pan (to create a non-stick surface) and lay dough on top of it.
3. Place beans, peppers, garlic, chili powder and salt in a food processor and process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
4. Apply the mixture from the food processor like a sauce. Add cheese, tomatoes, scallions, olives and pickled jalapeños. Bake in preheated oven 16-20 minutes, depending on thickness of crust (I prefer a thin crust, using half the dough and putting the other half in the freezer for a later date).
