Total Time: 37 minutes

Equipment

  • Pizza Stone, Peel, Cast Iron Skillet, or Sheet Tray
  • Sharp Knife
  • Spoon
  • Rolling Pin (if needed)
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 10-11 oz Roots Pizza Dough If using the Roots Malt Dough, cut in half.
  • 5 fl oz Roots Pizza Sauce
  • 7.5 oz Cooked Ground Sausage
  • 1/2 oz Taco Seasoning Blend
  • 7 oz Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 oz Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/3 head Shredded Romaine Lettuce
  • 3 oz Diced Tomatoes
  • 3 oz Taco Chips
  • packets of Heinze Taco Sauce
  • dash of for serving, as desired: greek oregano, grated parmesan, crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • If using a pizza stone, preheat oven to 400 F and preheat the stone 30-45 minutes prior to cooking.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  • About 15 minutes before you'd like to start prepping your pizza pull your dough from the refrigerator and let it proof a bit at room temperature. Remove the dough from the Roots bag and cut in half and let it sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes. The longer it sits, the easier it will be to work with but the less sweet the dough will taste.
  • Roll out the dough ball to a 12-inch round or to your preferred shape. See recipe video for tips on rolling out and shaping pizza dough.
  • Assemble the pizza. Spread the Roots Pizza sauce over the rolled out dough with a spoon. Add the cooked pizza sausage and spread evenly over the pizza. Sprinkle the Taco Seasoning Blend eventy over the sausage.
  • Next cover with the shredded mozzarella cheese and the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Transfer the assembled pizza to the oven and bake for 10-13 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is a golden brown.
  • Once the pizza is done cooking, remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly, 1-2 minutes. Top with the shredded romaine lettuce and diced tomatoes. Then lightly crumble the taco chips and spread over the lettuce on the entire pizza.
  • Slice & Serve: Carefully slice the pizza on a cutting board. Slice into 6-8 pieces if using strips or slices. For this pizza, we recommend cutting the pizza pie cut due to the amount of toppings.
  • Finally, drizzle taco sauce over each bite of the pizza. Optionally, you may also like to dip into sour cream.
Notes
Pizza Kits are packaged to work with a 10-11 oz. dough ball. The Roots Dough package is 22 oz. or enough for two pizzas or pizza kits.
