- 4 cups unbleached high-gluten flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup warm water
Topping for each small pizza (6 pizzas total)

- 1 to 2 ounces lightly sautéed chorizo

Instructions
Dough

- Divide dough into 6 equal pieces (if not using all of the dough, extra can be wrapped and frozen).
- Roll each piece of dough into a circle 6 to 7 inches in diameter and about 1/8 inch thick.
Toppings
- Spread salsa over crust and spread beans over salsa.

- Bake pizzas at 475 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes until crust is brown and cheese starts to get brown and bubbly.
Notes
One large pizza can be made in place of individual pizzas. Use a flat 16 inch diameter pizza pan.
