Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • ½ lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Roll out the 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch oval or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add 0.5 lb ground beef, 1 tsp cumin, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Cook, breaking up meat, until browned and no longer pink, about 6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Transfer the meat mixture to a bowl. Brush the dough with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.

  5. 5

    Spread the meat mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Bake until crust is golden and edges are crisp, 12-15 minutes.

  6. 6

    Let cool for 2 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
