Mexican Pizza

One thing kids love, its pizza night! of course adults too! Pizza is so fun to make and we can made any combination; meat lovers or vegetarian.

Making pizza dough is what takes the longest because we need to rest the dough for an hour. Baking takes between 15 -18 minutes.

This recipe does not have tomato sauce, it is perfect with out it. My kids love it and for healthy reasons I like to make it without the sauce. You can add the tomato sauce its optional.

1- Dissolve the yeast with ginger and warm water; set aside for 5 minutes.

2- In a bowl combine the flour, sugar, salt, olive oil mixing with spoon. Then add the yeast mixture and water. Stir until blended (if using a food processor) otherwise use your hands.

3- Knead the dough for 10 minutes, make a ball and cover with damp towel or plastic and let it rise for 1 hour.

4- In a skillet cook the sausage and roast the peppers (optional). Cut all the ingredients while the dough is resting.

5- I like to use parchment paper and placed on flat surface to stretch the dough with my hands. You can roll the dough making a shape about 14 inch round.

6- I don't use tomato sauce for this recipe, you may want to add it.

7- Place the pizza on the baking sheet .
