The ingredients for Hearty Pizza are:

2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 tablesoon Extra-virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon granulated Sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Quick-rise Yeast

1/2 cup spaghetti sauce
1/2 small cooking onion, diced
1 stalk of celery, diced
1/2 large carrot, diced
2 cups spinach
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
1 cup lean ham, diced
1/2 cup black olives

Here is how you make Hearty Pizza:

In a mixer bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water. Sit for 2-3 minutes, then add oil, salt, sugar and flour. Using a dough hook, mix for several minutes on low, then increase speed to knead for 2-3 minutes. Turn out into an oiled (I used cooking spray) bowl. Let rise for an hour. Punch down dough to remove most large bubbles; then turn out onto a floured board, and with a rolling pin, smooth it into a circle roughly the size of your pan. Gently lay the dough on oiled pan. Brush lightly or spritz with oil. Spread spaghetti sauce to within a half inch of edge. Cut vegetables and ham. Sautee onions, carrots & celery until crunchy-cooked. Spread all but cheese and olives on dough. Cook @ 350 for 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Spread cheese & olives on pizza. Return to oven for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is browned. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before cutting into 12 pieces.
