• 1 bag of Maison Orphée Pizza Dough Mix

For the toppings

• 15 ml (1 tbsp) Maison Orphée Spicy Olive Oil
• 1/2 white onion
• 175 ml (3/4 cup) Grounded Tex-Mex textured vegetable protein
• 125 ml (1/2 cup) vegetable broth
• 125 ml (1/2 cup) pizza sauce
• 110 g (1 cup) shredded Tex-Mex cheese
• 75 g (1/2 cup) roasted red peppers, diced
• 1 tomato, seeded and finely diced
• 1 jalapeño, sliced
• 60 g (1/2 cup) pitted black or green olives, sliced (to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare the pizza dough according to the package instructions.
   

2. Use only two of the four dough balls made from the mix (see note), and combine them into one large ball.
   

3. Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).

4. In a large skillet, sauté the onion over medium-low heat in the spicy olive oil until translucent. Add the plant-based protein and vegetable broth, cooking until the liquid is fully absorbed. Set aside.

5. On a lightly floured surface, roll or stretch the dough into a rectangle about 33 × 46 cm (13 × 18 in).

6. Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper. Top in this order: pizza sauce, roasted peppers, Tex-Mex protein, cheese, tomatoes, jalapeño, and olives.

7. Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet (or pizza stone) and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.

8. After baking, drizzle with spicy olive oil and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

9. Serve with sour cream and guacamole.
   

Note

You can freeze the two remaining dough balls or double the toppings to make two large pizzas.
