Ingredients

Pizza Crust

  • 16 oz Ground Chicken or your choice of ground meat
  • 1/2 C Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 Egg

Sauce, Cheese, and Toppings

  • 2 Tbsp Tomato Paste I used the Italian seasoned option
  • 1/2 C Fat-Free Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 serving Turkey Pepperoni
  • 1/2 C Bell Peppers sliced
  • 1/4 C Peppadew Peppers
  • 1 Jalapeno Pepper
  • 1 pinch Crushed Red Pepper

Instructions

Pizza Crust

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
  • Mix ground meat, parmesan cheese, and egg together in a large bowl. Spread your meatza dough as thinly as possible on your baking sheet, using a rolling pin or spatula to flatten it out.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • While your meatza crust is in the oven, prep your toppings. If you're making a plain cheese pizza, question your life choices then chill for 10-12 minutes. 
  • Remove your meatza dough from the oven and soak up any excess juices with a paper towel. Using the parchment paper (using a second sheet may help), flip the crust over if you'd like a crispier crust. This step isn't 100% necessary, as most come out crispy enough without flipping. Try both.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
  • After you've made the tough choice of flipping or not flipping your dough, spread the tomato paste evenly across the dough's surface using a rubber spatula or butter knife. Sprinkle your cheese, pepperoni, and other toppings with love and care. 
  • Bake for another 12-15 minutes at the reduced temperature or until your cheese is golden brown and toppings are fully cooked. If your crust is thicker, you might want to add an extra 3-5 minutes to ensure your crust is cooked through.
