| 1. Crust: dissolve yeast and sugar in water in a large bowl; let stand until bubbly; stir in oil then stir in 4 cups of the flour until smooth; add additional flour as needed to form a stiff dough. | 2. Lightly flour the work surface; knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 7 to 10 minutes; put into a greased bowl; turn to coat top then let rise, covered, in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. | 3. Sauce: heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; add garlic, cook 2 minutes; stir in tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt and pepper; simmer until very thick, about 30 minutes or so. | 4. Filling: mix spinach, mozzarella, mushrooms, parmesan, romano, garlic, olive oil, basil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. | 5. Heat oven to 450°. | 6. Punch down dough; let rest 10 minutes. | 7. Lightly oil a 12-inch pizza pan that is at least 2" deep. | 8. Roll two-thirds of dough into a 16-inch circle; let sides overhang the pan. | 9. Put the spinach mixture into center of dough; smooth evenly over the surface. | 10. Roll the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle; place over the spinach filling then pinch the edges together and cut excess dough at the edges so that the bottom dough is level with the top crust. | 11. Pour sauce over the dough to cover. | 12. Bake until crust is golden, 20-40 minutes. | 13. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing into wedges for serving. | 14. Ice cold beer or root beer is great with this pizza. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
