How To Make black bean and veggie whole wheat pizza

  • 1
    In a large bowl, stir together the yeast and warm water. Add honey and set aside for 10 minutes.
  • 2
    Meanwhile in a glass measuring cup, combine the cold water, oil and salt. Add the cold water mixture to the yeast and stir in flour.
  • 3
    Knead the dough on a lightly floured board until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Separate into two separate pieces.
  • 4
    Put the dough in a couple of lightly greased bowls and turn to coat. Cover loosely with plastic food wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft free place for 1 hour.
  • 5
    Spray two medium pizza pans with cooking spray and roll with a rolling pin or stretch dough and press into place in pans.
  • 6
    Divide tomato sauce between both pizzas.
  • 7
    Sprinkle cheeses on top.
  • 8
    Divide black beans between the two pizzas, sprinkling evenly over the top.
  • 9
    Sprinkle any other desired toppings over the top of the pizzas.
  • 10
    Bake in 425 degree oven for 15 minutes.
  • 11
    Remove from oven and drizzle taco sauce over the top. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves and place a slice of avocado over each slice, if desired.
  • 12
    Slice and serve!
