Pizza is something that everyone loves to enjoy from time to time. This recipe is one of the best pizza recipes that I have ever made. The pizza dough can be intimidating to make, but this recipe makes it simple and it has an amazing taste to it. We love thin crust pizza so that is what I made. You can make this as spicy as you want or as mild as you want. There are endless possibilities when you are adding toppings as well. So get creative and get the kids involved in making this fun dish.

- Spicy Enchilada Sauce
- Toppings
Instructions
-
Pizza Dough
- Dissolve yeast into warm water, no hotter than 110 degrees with the sugar. Set aside and let set in a warm area for about 10 minutes. The yeast will begin to bubble.
- Combine the flours, and salt into a mixing bowl and mix to combine. Next add the yeast mixture, add milk, and olive oil and mix these things together until combined.
- Mix your wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. This will form a rough dough.
- Turn the dough out on to a floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth. Continue to add flour as necessary to keep dough from sticking to the surface you are kneading on.
- Put the dough in a bowl that has olive oil in it and coat both sides of the dough in the olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean dry towel.
- Let the dough rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Turn the dough back out onto a floured surface and cut the dough in half.
- Roll out each piece of dough into a circle that is 8 inches in diameter.
- Place dough on pizza pan to prepare to build your pizza. Spicy Enchilada Sauce
- Heat oil in a sauce pan over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Next add the oregano, chili powder, basil, ground black pepper, salt, cumin, salsa, tomato sauce, and the chipotle in adobo.
- Mix all the ingredients together until combined well. Bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and set a side to place on pizza crust. Pizza toppings
- Spread the spicy enchilada sauce over the crust of the pizza. It will take approximately 1/4 cup of the sauce. You can use more if you would like.
- Sprinkle with all the cheeses listed above. Do it in any order that you wish to do it in. I put the queso fresco cheese right after the second layer of the cheeses.
- Arrange the onions, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, and black olives in any order you wish to have them in.
- Add the cooked chorizo sausage to the pizzas next.
- Place into a 400 degree oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. The crust should be golden brown and delicious. The crust should also be crispy.
- Remove from the oven, slice the pizza, and place it on a plate. Garnish with a drizzle of Mexican Crema and cilantro. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
This pizza was by far the favorite of my family. They loved the crust. I did roll the crust out thinner than what I would normally do a pizza crust. We love thin crust pizza so that's why I did it this way. You can make this pizza as spicy or as mild as you want. It's great for lunch the next day or even a midnight snack. Get the kids involved in helping as well. They will enjoy helping out making something that most kids love to eat.
