Ingredients

Directions

Special equipment:
a round steel baking pan
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Allow about 20 ounces of your favorite yeast dough to rise. You may do this if you have a proofer, or simply leave it at room temp for about 2 hours.
  3. Oil a round steel baking pan with a few ounce of olive oil. Press the dough on the bottom and to the sides of the pan, being careful not to tear it. Holes in the dough will create a soggy crust. Pull the dough up the sides of pan to 1 to 1 1/2 inches high.
  4. Place the mozzarella evenly across the dough. Top with the spinach and mushrooms. Place the sliced tomatoes on top. Sprinkle with the Cheddar and Parmesan-Romano cheese.
  5. Bake until the crust and the grated cheese turn golden brown, and the crust is firm yet flaky, 30 to 40 minutes.
