Carnitas Pizza

For the crust:

 * 3/4 cup warm water about 110 degrees
 * 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
 * 1 teaspoon sugar
 * 2 cups all-purpose flour
 * 3 tablespoons olive oil
 * 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the toppings:

 * 1/2 cup salsa verde or more to taste
 * 2 handfuls Monterey or pepper jack cheese
 * 1 onion thinly sliced
 * 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
 * 1-2 cups leftover Carnitas to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

 * To prepare the dough, place the warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast and sugar on top and let bloom, about 10 minutes.
 * Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture and turn the mixer (fitted with the dough hook) to medium. Knead until the dough comes together to form a smooth dough. Remove dough to an oiled bowl and place in the oven with the light turned on.
 * Let rise for one hour, or until doubled in bulk.
 * Heat a medium skill over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. Add the onion and peppers to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and beginning to brown, about 5-10 minutes. Set aside.
 * When the dough has doubled, punch it down.
 * Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
 * Roll the dough out on a well floured surface to a 12 inch circle and place on a pizza stone or pan.
 * Spread the salsa verde in a thin layer of the dough, adding more salsa verde if desired. Sprinkle with the cheese and top with the meat and vegetables.
 * Bake on the middle rack for 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
