This recipe makes 2 LARGE pizzas which is what you need for the top and bottom layer
2 Cups warm water
2 T brown sugar
2 T yeast
Whisk together and let the yeast proof..this means you let it sit and get foamy/bubbly about 10 minutes
Then add:
2 T olive oil
1 1/2 t salt
5 Cups flour If you use wheat..be sure and mix only 1/2 wheat with 1/2 white or it will be too dry. you can use any kind of flour
Then Knead for 5 min.
Let rise for 1 hour
for the Taco part of Pizza ~
1 lb Ground Beef or Turkey
1 Pkg of your fave Taco seasoning
Canned spaghetti sauce of your choosing
2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella and Cheddar cheese more if you LOVE cheese
Lettuce ~ Shredded
Onion ~ Chopped
Red Peppers ~ Chopped
Tomato ~ Chopped
Garlic Salt ~ optional

While Dough is rising ~ cook your taco meat according to the directions on pkg. and chop up your veggies. Set aside
Sprinkle your pizza stone with cornmeal if you have it ~ a simple trick that even pizza parlors do to keep pizza from sticking to pizza stone.
Cut dough in half and roll out first dough. Roll it so that it over hangs the size of your pizza stone by about 1 – 2 inches and top with spaghetti sauce, taco meat and cheese. As much or little as you like
Roll out the other half of the pizza dough so that it too overlaps the pizza stone and place on top
Now simply fold both top and bottom edges up and roll them together. Sort of pinching as you go.
Poke some steam holes in the top
If you want a super beautiful golden brown crust, brush a raw stirred egg on with a pastry brush. This is not a necessary step…but it’s oh so pretty. Oh and it adds absolutely no flavor.
Sprinkle with garlic salt ~ optional
Place in the oven for 20 min at 425 degrees.
