- CRUST: (for dough to be made quickly and simply, make regular bread dough in the bread maker and stick in the fridge for a couple hours so it can be more easily shaped)
- 1 1/4 cups water (70 to 80 degrees F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- TOPPINGS:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry OR fresh baby spinach
- 3 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
- (if desired, also add sausage or pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, and any other toppings)
- 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Directions
- In bread machine pan, place the first five ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).
- When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 16-in. x 11-in. rectangle. Transfer to a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Build up edges slightly. Prick dough thoroughly with a fork. Brush with oil; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and garlic salt. Top with spinach, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese (and any other desired toppings).
- Bake at 375 degrees F for 17-22 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is golden brown.

- About 1 hour prep time with 20 minutes cook time
