Indian-Style Pizza

Last week we made these tasty pizzas - a little bit different than your usual pizza though. I am still trying to figure out a good way of making pizza dough so once I find a method we really like I will share that recipe with you. Otherwise you can buy pizza dough from the grocery store, pizza joint, french bread, naan bread (you can find this in the bakery section). I don't have the exact measurement for the indian spices I used because I kinda eye-balled it as I went - sorry! :-)

ingredients
• 1 lb pizza dough
• 1/2 cup prepared cilantro pesto (recipe can be found here)
• 1/2 lb ground beef
• 1 large green onion, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
• 1/2 tbsp sriracha sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (mild)
• mixture of Indian Spices: Curry powder, ground cinnamon, crushed coriander seed, crushed dill seed
• salt and pepper
• fresh cilantro for garnish
• flour and corn meal

directions
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and brown the meat, season with salt, pepper and indian spices to taste. Let meat get a little crusty by not stirring too often over the hight heat. Once done, drain and set aside.
• Prepare pizza dough by rolling out on a clean surface that has been dusted with a mixture of cornmeal and flour. Roll out into an oval or circular shape.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and spread some cornmeal on a baking sheet. Then lay the pizza dough on top of the cornmeal.
• Spoon the pesto over the dough evenly out to the edges. Top with the beef, onions & sauces, then top with cheese. Season to taste with the S&P.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cheese is melty and bubbly and crust is crispy underneath. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Top the pizza with fresh cilantro and EAT it up!!!

Enjoy!
