Ingredients

CRUST:
1 tablespoon sugar
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup canola oil
MEAT FILLING:
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
4 cups spaghetti sauce

Steps:

For crust, dissolve sugar and yeast in water; set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Stir in yeast mixture and oil; mix until dough forms a ball. Knead on a lightly floured surface 6-8 minutes or until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , Meanwhile, for filling, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain and cool. Stir in the olives, mushrooms, spinach and cheese; set aside. , Punch dough down. Divide into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Roll out the larger piece into a 15-in. circle. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 12-in. deep-dish pizza pan. Cover with meat mixture. , Roll out remaining dough into a 12-in. circle; place over meat mixture. Crimp edges of crusts together to seal; gently press top crust onto meat filling. Cut a 1-in. slit in center of crust. Spread spaghetti sauce over top crust. , Bake at 475° for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned.
