KETO FATHEAD PIZZA WITH CHORIZO AND SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

• Spray 2 large pieces of parchment paper with non-stick spray. Place dough on one piece of parchment paper and cover with the second piece. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten pizza dough to a 10-inch round. Remove top parchment paper and place bottom piece of parchment paper with flattened pizza dough onto a baking sheet. Pierce all of the pizza dough with a fork to prevent the dough from rising.

GRILLED PIZZA WITH CHORIZO AND TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Brush a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Turn the pizza dough in the oil to coat. Add the red onion rings to the baking sheet and turn to coat in the oil. Set aside until ready to grill.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and chorizo; cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until it starts browning, about 2 minutes. Add the poblano and cook until it just begins to wilt and the chorizo is no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Add the corn and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt.
• Arrange the onion rings on one corner of the grill. Grill, flipping, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stretch and press the pizza dough on the baking sheet into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Transfer the dough to the grill (it's OK if it stretches slightly). Cook until golden and marked on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip with tongs. Top with the salsa, jack cheese and chorizo mixture. Cover the grill and cook until golden on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Use a large spatula to slide the pizza onto a cutting board. Coarsely chop the onion rings and sprinkle on top of the pizza along with the queso fresco and cilantro. Cut into squares.

SALSA VERDE PIZZA WITH GOAT CHEESE AND CHORIZO (RICK BAYLESS)

Steps:

• For the sauce: Roast the tomatillos, chile(s) and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet 4 inches below a very hot broiler, until blotchy black and softening (they'll be turning from lime green to olive), about 5 minutes. Flip them over and roast the other side.
• Cool, then transfer everything to a blender, including all the juice that has accumulated. Add the cilantro or parsley and 1/4 cup water, then blend to a coarse puree. Scoop into a serving dish.
• Rinse the onion under cold water, then drain well to remove excess moisture. Stir into the salsa and season with salt to taste, about 1/2 teaspoon.
• For the crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, yeast and salt. Measure in the water and beer. Stir to combine everything into a rough-looking mass. Cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for 8 to 18 hours.
• After the dough has raised, heat the oven to 500°F.
• Generously oil a 13 x 18 rimmed baking sheet (a half sheet pan). Use a rubber spatula to gently deflate the dough and scrape it out onto the baking sheet. Gently coax the dough into a mostly even rectangle about 9 by 13 inches.
• Spread on 2/3 cup roasted tomatillo salsa (save the rest for snacking later), leaving a 1-inch border around the outside. Scatter on the cooked chorizo, sliced red onion and crumbled goat cheese. Bake in the middle of the oven until puffy and brown, about 25 minutes.
• Sprinkle with queso anejo and cilantro or parsley leaves, cut in squares and serve.
