This is another recipe I made for my healthy cooking class - it turned out so well I went home and made it for dinner that night! I got the recipe from (never home)maker.
Feel free to change toppings or types of beans. Enjoy!!
Dough Ingredients:
1 cup warm water
1 envelope active dry yeast
2 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons olive oil
1-1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
3-1/2 cups unbleached bread flour or mix with whole wheat
Directions
Pour the warm water into a medium bowl and whisk in the yeast. Let sit until frothy -- about 10 minutes. Then add your honey, olive oil, and pumpkin -- whisk until smooth.
Whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl. With you fist, make an impression in the center -- a "bowl" that's big enough to pour your wet ingredients into. Then pour in your wet ingredients.
Start pulling everything together with a spatula. When you can no longer mix, use your hands to start kneading the dough. Keep kneading -- and adding more flour as necessary -- until you have a ball that's elastic, but not sticky.
Lightly oil another large bowl and put your dough ball inside it -- flipping over once to coat both sides (again -- lightly) with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1-2 hours or until doubled.
Pizza Topping Ingredients
1/2 a round of brie cheese (or a single wedge may do)
1 can of white beans, drained, rinsed, and mashed
1/2 to 1 cup spinach, rinsed
1/4 cup tomato sauce
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Once dough has risen, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Stretch out (or roll) your dough so it's maybe 12 to 14 inches in diameter.
You're going to use a round pie pan, and you want like an inch of overlap. Make sure your dough is that big, then spritz a pie pan with a bit of olive oil, center the dough over the pie pan and press into all the sides. Let the part that overlaps hang out for a moment.
Cut thin slices of your brie round and line the perimeter of the pan with them. Use as much cheese as you like. When you're done, fold over the excess dough and press into the bottom of the dough to seal. Prick bottom with a fork once or twice, then bake for 10 minutes.
While that's baking assemble all your other ingredients. You can really use anything you want. We just used what we had around our kitchen. After the 10 minutes is up, pour your mashed beans into the pizza. Smush them down until they are level. Top with the spinach and then the tomato sauce.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and pepper. Then return to the oven to bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.
