Directions
- DOUGH:
- In a large mixing bowl combine the water and yeast. Stir in the flour and oil then stir in the salt. Continue stirring until a dough forms and it pulls away from the side of the bowl.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until dough is elastic and can be formed into a smooth ball, about 5 minutes.
- Lightly oil a separate large bowl and place the dough ball inside, roll the dough around to cover in the oil. Loosely cover the bowl and set in a warm place to rise, about 1 hour.
- TOPPING:
- Lightly toast the pine nuts in a large skillet over medium-low heat stirring constantly until lightly browned, about 1 minute (careful not to burn them, they just need to be lightly toasted.). Transfer the pine nuts to plate and set aside.
- Add the ground beef and onion to the pan over medium heat and cook while breaking up the beef until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook while stirring, about 1 minute.
- ASSEMBLY:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and lightly oil 2 baking sheets.
- On a lightly floured surface punch down the dough and separate into 8 equal pieces. Roll the dough pieces into balls then flatten into thin circles about 5-inches in diameter.
- Spread the dough circles equally with the beef topping leaving a small edge all around then sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts. Using the back of a spoon lightly press the topping into the dough.
- Place the pizzas on the baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven until crusts are golden brown, about 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through cooking.
