1
Bring the pizza dough to room temperature by placing on the counter, covered, for at least 1-2 hours (this step will ensure ease of rolling out the dough).

On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough out to 1/4-inch thickness.
7
Carefully transfer to a rimless baking sheet.
8
Pierce the dough lightly with a fork all over the surface (about 10 times) and place in the oven.
9
Pre-bake the dough for 2 minutes.
10
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, flip the pizza crust over, and spread the guacamole sauce evenly over the top.
11
Scatter cheese on top of the guacamole sauce, followed by the red onions, bell pepper and chorizo.
12
Bake assembled pizza on the baking sheet for 8 minutes.
13
Carefully remove the baking sheet and transfer the pizza directly onto the oven rack, and cook 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom of the pizza crust is golden brown and crisp.
