Spinach Feta Pizza

1 recipe pizza dough/crust
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbs olive oil
½ tsp garlic salt
1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1-2 cups sliced mushrooms
½ cup sliced red onions
1 beefsteak tomato, thinly sliced, or cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tbs chopped fresh basil
Balsamic Vinegar, for drizzling


Preheat oven to 375 d's. Spread dough out onto desired pizza pan (can use round shape, or a smaller sized cookie sheet). I sprinkled cornmeal over my crust, particularly the edges, but it's certainly optional. Using a pastry brush, spread olive oil all over the crust. Sprinkle garlic salt all over, along with minced garlic cloves. I sauteed my onions, spinach, and mushrooms in a skillet with olive oil before topping pizza. You may either do that or leave them raw and skip that step. At any rate, spread veggies (including tomatoes) over crust. Top with cheeses and fresh basil. Bake until crust is golden brown and cheese has melted. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar just before serving, if you like the stuff.
