"Mmmm...double-crust pizza full of cheesy, spinachy goodness! I found this in a low-fat cookbook, but I can't remember which. Prep time doesn not include time for dough to rise."

My daughter and I made this last night with a few changes and it was awesome! (It came out just like the picture!!) I omitted the AP flour completely, added herbs to the crust (and will add flax next time), and changed the mozzarella to a feta and cheddar combo due to what we had on hand. It was definitely a knife and fork pizza for me and the kids, but not for Daddy. We all really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting! :) P.S. I would recommend making the top crust a tad thinner than the bottom as it didn't fully cook in the middle.

This is a really good pizza. The dough is super easy to make but does need some spices kneaded in for flavor and Buddha felt he would prefer 50 WW/50 AP flour. The filling only required 2 oz of fresh spinach (which we chopped), 8 oz mozarella, 2.5 oz mushrooms (jar type), and 1/4 cup of sauce (we used Recipe #255242). That was plenty of toppings. The 1/3 cup parmesan was right on. We used about 5/8 of dough for the bottom and opted for a very thin upper crust which we tucked under the partially baked bottom crust to seal in the bottom filling. The upper dough doesn't bake crusty, but more like a soft dough. Baking temp and time are spot on. The use of fresh mozarella, parmesan, and fresh spinach are really flavorful and blend well together. Next time we may do this as a stromboli.

I live in Knoxville, TN with DH, my beautiful son, and the most spoiled cat on the planet! I grew up in Cincinnati and landed in TN by way of Bloomington, IN and Santa Fe, NM. Needless to say, it's been a long, strange trip!! To explain the name: I was veg for 11 years, vegan for 1. In the last year or so I started eating poultry and fish again, but my brother-in-law's nickname for me (smelly vegetarian) has always stuck. Also...thanks a million to my Zaar fairy godperson :)!!! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Holiday-plaid_HPI.gif"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/cc-banner-7-09.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/590105/hcabc.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/My-3-Chefs%20banners/my3chefs2008Small.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
