PIZZA!

While walking into Cartridge World in the Northland Shopping Center for new printer ink, since I used all of our ink printing out Martha Stewart Thanksgiving recipes a couple of weeks ago, I had a thought for dinner---get pizza dough at Brothers Pizza and make a veggie pizza tonight!  It was a new thought, since usually we only make pizza in the summer on our grill.  But a veggie pizza sounded very good at the moment and very easy too.  Since I had been wrestling with Christmas decorations all day while trying to clean out my basement, easy was key!

Did you know that Brothers sells great pizza dough?  This is something I stumbled on to a few years ago, I can't remember how.  Just go in, ask for a ball of dough, pay $1.50 plus tax and walk out with an amazing glob of wonder.

WHITE VEGGIE PIZZA

 Let the dough rise in your kitchen for awhile (it comes cold, out of their refrigerator), then roll it out.  If you have one, put a pizza stone in the oven to warm up at 450 degrees.

Slice mushrooms, peppers, onions and saute them in about 1 - 2 tablespoons of olive oil for no longer than 5 minutes on medium heat.

Drizzle olive oil on the pizza dough (this is a "white" pizza).  Top with the sauteed veggies.  Put in the oven for 15 minutes.

Slice tomatoes and wash baby spinach.  Dry spinach.  Grate mozzarella cheese, as much or little as you want.

At the 15 minute mark, top the pizza with the cheese.

Let the pizza continue cooking for about 8 to 10 minutes.  If the crust has started to brown and the cheese is bubbling, turn off the oven and top the pizza with the tomatoes and spinach.  Let it stand in the oven about 5 more minutes.

Serve with a lettuce salad and you have dinner!  And much better than delivery pizza!
