Sourdough Taco Pizza
We have pizza a lot in our home. This sourdough taco pizza has been one of our favorites yet! From the tangy sourdough crust to the spicy taco toppings, this pizza is sure to please!
As a from scratch cook, I am always looking for new and fresh recipes. Usually, this takes a regular dish and spice it up a bit. With this sourdough taco pizza, the spice is just right and the flavor is out of this world!
I prefer to use my sourdough pizza crust: https://therosehomestead.com/sourdough-pizza-crust/ But, use your favorite crust. If you have a sourdough starter, I highly recommend trying the sourdough crust, though!
Why Sourdough?
The process of long fermenting sourdough makes bread products easier to digest for those who are sensitive to gluten. **SOURDOUGH IS NOT FOR THOSE WHO ARE GLUTEN INTOLERANT**
The longer you ferment your sourdough, the more it breaks down the phytic acid that can be hard to digest.
What you will need for this recipe:
- 1 recipe of my sourdough pizza crust: https://therosehomestead.com/sourdough-pizza-crust/ or your favorite crust.
- Salsa
- Hamburger meat
- Onion
- Mushrooms
- Green pepper
- Taco seasoning
- Cheese
- Salt
To make the pizza, start the crust the morning of the day you want to make it, or make the dough for the crust up to several days before and store in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Slice the veggies to approximately the same size.
In a large skillet over low to medium heat, sauté the veggies until just starting to soften.
Add the hamburger meat to brown and add 2 teaspoons of taco seasoning. After the mixture is cooked well, taste for salt and add to your liking.
Press the crust onto a baking pan or pizza pan. I use a 9×12 baking sheet for my pizza.
Top the crust with 6-8 tablespoons of salsa and spread out evenly.
Add the meat and veggie mixture.
Top with shredded cheese. I use cheddar cheese but you can use whatever kind of cheese you like.
Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and the crust is crispy around the edges.
I like to move the pizza to a cutting board for serving. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
