Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 ounce envelope active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 cups all purpose flour plus more for flouring surface
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 1 medium red onion sliced
  • 1 red pepper seeds and ribs removed, sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded romano cheese
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese crumbles

Instructions

  • In a bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. About 10 minutes.
  • In another bowl combine flour, basil and kosher salt.
  • After yeast has dissolved, gradually mix in the seasoned flour. Mix with hands until well combined.
  • On a flour coated surface, kneed dough until soft, about 5 minutes. Add more flour as needed so the dough doesn’t stick to your hands or the board.
  • Grease a bowl with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Place dough in the bowl, cover tightly with saran wrap. Let rise in a warm, dark place for 40 minutes – 1 hour or until it has doubled in size. I put mine in a kitchen cabinet.
  • Once it has doubled in size, punch the dough to release the air bubbles.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough and then using your hands shape into 15 inch pizza pan. Bake dough for 10 minutes.
  • While dough is baking, heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add garlic and oregano. Cook just until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Remove dough from oven and brush olive oil and garlic mixture over the top.
  • Layer remaining ingredients on the dough. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly and crust is browned.
  • Slice and serve.
