Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 1 can (16 ounces) Refried beans
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.

Step 2

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, then place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 4

While the dough is rising, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Step 5

Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, then set aside.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 12-inch deep-dish pizza pan or cast-iron skillet.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and press it evenly into the prepared pan, ensuring it comes up the sides to form a crust.

Step 8

Spread the refried beans over the bottom of the dough as the base sauce.

Step 9

Evenly distribute the cooked taco beef over the beans.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the beef, completely covering it.

Step 11

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Step 13

Top the pizza with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream (add in dollops or drizzle), sliced black olives, and chopped cilantro.

Step 14

Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Deep Dish Taco Pizza!
