          MEXICAN PIZZA

          CRUST:
          1 T. cornmeal
          1 to 1/2 c. Self Rising Flour
          1 c. Whole Wheat Flour
          3/4 c. beer, room temperature
          1/4 c. oil

          TOPPING:
          16 oz. can refried beans
          1 lb. ground beef
          8 oz. can tomato sauce
          4 oz. can chopped green chilies, undrained
          1/3 c. chopped onion
          8 oz. shredded cheddar, Jack or Mozzarella cheese
          1 red or green bell pepper, cut into strips
          3-4 pitted ripe olives, sliced
          sour cream, if desired
          Taco or picante sauce, if desired

          Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Grease a 14 inch pizza pan or
          15X10 inch jelly roll pan.  Sprinkle with cornmeal.
          Lightly spoon flour into a measuring cup, level off.  In
          a large bowl, combine 1/2 c. self rising flour, whole
          wheat flour, beer and oil, mix well.  Stir in an
          additional 1/4 to 1/2 cup self rising flour to form a
          stiff dough.  On a floured surface, knead in 1/4 to 1/2
          cup self rising flour until the dough is smooth and
          elastic, 2 to 3 minutes.  On a lightly floured surface,
          roll dough into a 14 inch circle, place in a prepared
          pan.  Spread refried beans over dough.  In a large
          skillet, brown ground beef, drain well.  Add tomato
          sauce, green chilies and onion and blend well.  Spoon
          meat mixture over refried beans, top with cheese, pepper
          strips and ripe olives.  Bake at 400 degrees for 25 to 35
          minutes or until the crust is light golden brown.  Let
          stand 5 minutes before serving.  Garnish with sour cream
          or taco sauce.  Makes 8 servings.
