  • 1 can 398 ml tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tbsp sugar to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Seasonings to taste: basil oregano, parsley, red pepper flakes, thyme, fennel seed, onion powder, pepper, salt

Make The Pizza (all measurements are suggestions – do what looks good to you!)

  • pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 handfuls spinach fresh works perfectly
  • 1/4 cup red onion diced
  • 1/3 cup tomatoes chopped
  • 1/3 cup green pepper chopped
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 cup cheese curds or mozzarella cheese cubed
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • Oregano to taste (for topping)

Instructions

Pizza Dough

Pizza Sauce

  • Mix all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer while dough is rising.
  • Freeze leftover pizza sauce

Make Pizza

  • Once the dough has risen, preheat oven to 500° degrees F.
  • Oil pizza pan (I use a 8" cake pan) generously (bottom and sides). Place dough into pizza pan and stretch / push into shape. Let rest for about 5 minutes before adding
  • Spread pizza sauce over crust - go right out to the edge! Layer spinach over sauce and top with about 1/3 of the cheese curds (or mozzarella).
  • Sprinkle onion, tomatoes, green peppers, mushrooms and garlic over cheese.
  • Top with remaining cheese curds (or mozzarella) and make sure to go right to the edge.
  • Finish with feta, Parmesan and oregano.
  • Bake in hot oven (make sure it is fully pre-heated) for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese and sauce are bubbly. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting, then serve immediately. And careful it’s hot!
