I got started with making my own pizzas when someone encouraged me to buy a pizza peel and a baking stone and said … go for it. The local supermarket (Publix) bakery department makes the dough fresh and keeps it packaged in a small refrigerator. Very convenient and easy indeed.

Steps

1

Allow pizza dough to rise and come to room temp.
2

In a small pot, cook spinach according to package directions. Drain, then press to get the remaining liquid out, and place in a small bowl with a few splashes of balsamic vinegar.
3

Add olive oil to a medium size fry pan that's beginning to warm. Add the mushrooms and cook until lightly brown, stirring and adding oil as needed. Add garlic near the end. Place on a small plate.
4

Preheat oven to 425.
5

Lightly dust dough ball, rolling pin, and rolling surface with flour. Push your palm hard into the dough, turn it over and repeat. Do this a few times. Roll out the dough to the circular size you want.
6

Transfer to a flour dusted pizza peel if going into oven with a pizza stone. Or, transfer to a baking tray. Thicken the edges of the pie with your fingers.
7

Ladle out the sauce (or pour, then use the back of a spoon) starting in the center and working towards the edge. Top with cheese, spinach, and mushrooms.
8

Place pizza into the heated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes. Check on it a few times near the end. Remove, allow it to cool a bit, and enjoy!
