Patrick Conyers impressed his wife-to-be with his homemade pizza on their very first date...and the two have been cooking together ever since. "Since Angela's family is Mexican-American, and I'm from the Midwest, I combined flavors from both backgrounds in this pizza," he pens from Iowa City, Iowa.

Time 45m

Yield 8 slices.

Number Of Ingredients 18

1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cornmeal
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup fat-free milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
TOPPING:
1 cup salsa
3/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and rained
2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
2 cups shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, cornmeal, yeast, salt and sugar. In a saucepan, heat water, milk and oil to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until smooth. Beat in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. On a floured surface, roll dough into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to a 14-in. pizza pan coated with cooking spray; build up edges slightly. Prick dough several times with a fork. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Spread salsa over crust. Top with the beans, chicken, onion, chilies, cheese, tomato, jalapeno and cilantro. Bake 12-15 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
