Ingredients
Scale
- For the Pizza Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- For the Toppings:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp butter (for sautéing onions)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, then knead until smooth (about 5-7 minutes).
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- While the dough rises, sauté onions in butter over medium heat until caramelized (about 10 minutes).
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef, seasoning with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Drain excess fat.
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Spread the cooked beef evenly over the dough, followed by the caramelized onions, and top with cheddar and Swiss cheese.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- This pizza can be made ahead of time; prepare the dough and toppings, then refrigerate separately until ready to bake.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute ground beef with a plant-based meat alternative.
