Here is how you make Chicago Style Spinach Pizza with Whole Wheat Crust:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Take a large (14-inch) oven-safe skillet, preferably cast iron, and brush with 1Tbsp olive oil. Set aside.Mix together yeast, 1/2 cup warm water and sugar in a measuring cup and set aside. It should foam up within 5 minutes--if not, try again with fresh yeast.Mix together flour, wheat flour, oil, garlic, salt and seasoning in a food processor. (You can do this by hand if you want, but I make this in the food processor because it's faster.) Add yeast and water mixture and pulse until crumbly. Add remaining water, a little at a time, adding more if needed, until a dough ball forms. It should be slightly sticky to the touch, but come off the sides of the bowl cleanly.Knead for about 5 minutes (or twirl it around the food processor bowl 25 times) and form into a ball. Let rest for 15 minutes.While dough is resting, microwave the spinach on HIGH for 3 minutes. Squeeze out excess water.Press dough into skillet and up the sides of the skillet as well. Cook over high heat for 5 minutes or until crust is starting to set and separate a little from the sides of the pan. Dock bottom of crust with a fork to prevent puffing.Remove pan from heat. Add 1 cup of shredded mozzarella to bottom of crust. Top with cooked spinach, nutmeg, onion powder and garlic. Add 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, then top with chopped canned tomatoes, basil and oregano.Bake at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Let the pizza rest for about 5 minutes before cutting, or you'll just have a stringy mess.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ALFERRIS.
