No consensus could be reached among the staff and customers as to which they liked better. Some folks thought the beans on pizza was "just going too far!" while others loved it. In any event, it's a popular pizza. Try it both ways. Mix water, yeast, honey, oil, and salt, and let sit until bubbly. Add 2-1/2 cups flour and knead until smooth and even, adding more flour to dough if needed. Place in medium-sized bowl, cover, and allow to rise 1 hour in warm place until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 450 F. Sprinkle corn meal on bottom of pan (12x14" or 15" round). Roll out dough on floured board and stretch dough to corners of pan, folding over edges for a rim. Bake 5 minutes at 450 F. Pull out of oven when crust gets a bit firm and is just beginning to turn a little brown on the edges. Drain salsa of any excess liquid. Spread over baked crust (if using refried beans, spread themover crust first). Spread the Jalapeno cheese and 1 cup mozzarella over the salsa, reserving 1/2 cup mozzarella. Then lay out the vegetables on top and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Bake 10 to 12 minutes more, until bubbly. Recipe by Horn of the Moon Cookbook by Ginny Callan MMMMM
