Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon fast rise yeast
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 cup water (115°F. to 120°F.)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1/2 cup pizza sauce or 1/2 cup seasoned tomato sauce
1/2 green bell pepper, sliced
1/3 cup onion, thinly sliced (about 3 rings)
1 1/2 cups shredded manchego cheese or 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
4 ounces smoked chorizo sausage, thinly sliced
1/3 cup sliced Spanish olives with pimento

Steps:

Place oven rack in lower third of oven.
Heat oven to 450F.
In medium bowl, stir together flour, yeast and garlic salt.
In measuring cup, combine water, olive oil and honey; stir to dissolve honey.
Stir water mixture into flour mixture until ball forms.
On floured surface (use about 1/4 cup flour), knead dough 3 to 4 minutes or until resilient and no longer sticky, working in flour from counter as necessary to prevent sticking.
Cover dough with inverted mixing bowl; let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, lightly grease 14-inch pizza pan; dust with cornmeal.
On lightly floured surface, roll dough into 15-inch round (dough will shrink slightly when lifted).
Place on pizza pan.
Spread with sauce; top with bell pepper and onion.
Bake 8 minutes.
Sprinkle with cheese; top with chorizo and green olives.
Bake an additional 4 to 6 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown around edges.
Chorizo is a highly seasoned pork sausage; for this recipe, use the smoked links.
Chorizo can be found in the meat department of the grocery store.
If you can't find it, substitute any spicy or garlicky smoked sausage.
