Pizza Pizza Pizza!!!

Ok I love love love pizza.  I know it can be incredibly unhealthy, but it is delicious.  One of the things I miss most about NY is the white pizza sauce.  I have been searching far and wide and have found a sauce that I enjoy a lot.  I found it at corkandspoon. I usually just make a third of that recipe since it makes three servings and I do not have enough room in my freezer to store any extra sauce.

The next and arguably the most important part about a pizza is the base, which is of course the pizza dough!  The best recipe I have found is the 18 hour rising dough recipe.  I found it here at i am a food blog.  Very delicious and very easy.  It is definitely worth those several hours

Now onto the goodies.

On my pizza I love a variety of flavors so I use a lot of delicious things.

Pizza toppings:

1 cup fresh spinach (cook and rinse it, you could just put the fresh stuff on there too, but I prefer it this way)
thinly sliced eggplant (however much you want!)
1 can of quartered artichoke hearts
1/2 cup of feta cheese
2 cup mozzarella cheese

While you are chopping up all these yummies, preheat the oven to 425 F

So after you have your pizza dough and sauce ready to go, it's time to get cooking.  The best thing I have ever bought to make pizza is a pizza crisper.  I found one at Walmart for $6 and it makes a medium-ish sized pizza.  A pizza stone might even be a better choice, but come on, I am a poor college student!

Spread out your pizza dough and for this part I would recommend using some corn meal on the bottom of it so it doesn't stick to whatever you are cooking (probably at most a tablespoon).  Then spread out the delicious garlic-y white pizza sauce.  Top with the two cheeses as well as the other yummy ingredients.  Put in oven at 425 F for 10-12 min until the cheese is nice and melted and the crust looks delicious.  Your yummy pizza may look like this :D
