Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 14-inch pizza stone or a large baking sheet.
On a floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to your prepared pan. Prick the dough all over with a fork and pre-bake for 6-8 minutes until lightly browned.
Remove the crust from the oven.
Brush the 1-inch outer edge with olive oil.
Spread the salsa over the center, then evenly top with black beans, sweet peppers, and optional jalapeño strips.
Sprinkle the cheese over the toppings.
Bake for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving.
When handling jalapeños, wear gloves to protect your skin from the volatile oils. If you don't have gloves, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water immediately after.
