Stuffed Pizza with Spinach

Dough

3 tsp sugar

1 pkg yeast

1 1/4 cups warm water

3 1/4 cups bread flour

1 tsp salt

4 Tbl veg oil

Sauce

1 28 oz can tomatoes

2 Tbl olive oil

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp basil

1 tsp salt

1 clove garlic crushed

1/4 c. parmesan cheese

Stuffing

1/4 lb fresh spinach

8 oz. mozzarella cheese grated

Let dough rise 1-1 1/2 hours

Sauce- drain liquid, crush tomatoes with hands, then add remaining ingredients. Do not cook.

Stuffing- wash and chop spinach, combine with mozzarella.

Preheat over to 450. Grease pan, place first dough layer, then spinach mix, lay second dough layer on top. Crimp the edges of dough layer together to form a thick border. Press down on filling with hand, cut slit in the center of the top crust to allow steam to escape. Spread tomato mix on top. Bake on lowest rack for ten minutes. Move the pizza up to an oven rack two slots above the lower rack and bake 25-30 minutes until crust in lightly browned. Substitute sausage for spinach if desired. Just like a chicago deep dish pizza- delicious
