SPICY SPINACH PIZZA

Steps:

• Brush the prepared pizza crust with olive oil, making sure to cover it completely. I used one that's already rolled out. Place it on a well oiled pizza stone (don't make my mistake of not oiling the stone!!)
• Pat the leafy vegetables completely dry after washing them. Chop everything coarsely, except the jalapeno and onions - you want those finely chopped. Put all the vegetables in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, add pesto paste, salt & pepper, and toss well.
• Pile the vegetables onto the pizza crust (residual juice and all) and put in the oven. Turn the oven to 325. Don't pre-heat the oven. The reason is that with so many vegetables, you want them to dehydrate a little while not letting the pizza crust get overdone.
• Peek in on it about every 15 minutes, and spread out the vegetables toward the edges of the crust as they wilt. Scoot dry bits from the edges toward the middle. Again, the idea is to let the vegetables dehydrate while cooking.
• When the veggies look cooked and have lost some volume (about 30 minutes), spread them out toward the edges again, and lay whole or chopped anchovy fillets and cheese on top. Turn the oven up to 375 and bake until the cheese is melted and golden - maybe 10-15 minutes or so.
• Remove from oven, cut into slices and serve. Note: some people think they don't like anchovies - but it's the anchovies that make this really taste great. The briny saltiness with the cheese and vegetables is surprisingly good. If you think you don't like anchovies, try using high quality fresh anchovies from a gourmet market. I used a jar of anchovies in olive oil. You can also chop the anchovies if you don't want the taste of bigger chunks. I like anchovies, so enjoy getting a big piece in a bite. Another note on pizza crust - a thin crispy crust works best for this pizza because of the volume and softness of the vegetables and the lack of a lot of cheese. A softer, or regular crust might get mushy.

SPINACH AND THREE-CHEESE PIZZA

• Preheat oven to 550 degrees (or highest temperature) with a pizza stone placed on lowest rack for at least 30 minutes. Top a pizza peel with parchment paper.
• Working with one piece of dough, flatten dough into a disk that is thicker in the center than at the edges. Using your fingers, gently pull on the edges of the dough to form a 12-inch circle; dough should still be thicker in the center. Transfer dough to prepared pizza peel.
• Top dough with one-quarter of the cheeses, spinach, and sliced garlic. Season with pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
• Transfer pizza along with parchment paper to pizza stone and bake until spinach is wilted and slightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Using pizza peel, remove pizza from oven and top with one-quarter of the mint. Serve with lemon wedges. Repeat process with remaining dough and toppings.
