Tex Mex Pizza Kit
Using Roots Pizza Dough and a Tex Mex Kit, this is a guide to putting it all together. This pizza is very similar to the Antique Taco Pizza served in house.
Servings: 1
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.
- 6 fl oz Chili Chorizo Blend
- 3 oz Chihuahua Cheese
- 3 oz Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 4 oz Cheddar Cheese Curds
- 2 oz Green & Kalamata Olive Mix
- 1 handful Fried Tortilla Strips
- 4 oz Pickled Jalapeños
- 2 ½ oz Pickled Red Onions
- ½ oz Diced Green Onions (Scallions)
- 3 oz Avocado Cream 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 Chili Chorizo over the rolled out dough with a spoon. Sprinkle the chihuahua cheese over the chili chorizo.
- 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 olive mix, fried tortilla strips, pickled jalapeños, pickled onions, and green onions.
- Drizzle the avocado cream sauce over the entire pizza or use as a dipping sauce.
- 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.
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.
