Sneaky Pizza

I always know my boyfriend is going to like a meal when I can hear him saying, "It smells SO good!" the whole time I'm cooking. Since he refuses to eat fruits and vegetables (at least knowingly), I decided it was time to sneak some veggies into his meals. I made this pizza by hiding the "bad" veggies under all the sauce and good toppings, and you could hardly tell they were there! The taste of this pizza was great, it kind of tasted like a supreme pizza, minus all the fatty sausage. I just wish I would have sprayed the pan first because the crust stuck a little. All in all, fabulous pizza!

Cassie's "Sneaky" Pizza
Sauce:
1 can tomato sauce
1 can tomato paste
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning

Crust:
2 1/3 c. whole wheat flour
1/3 c. all purpose flour
1 (.25 oz.) package active dry yeast
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 tbsp. honey (or white sugar)
2 tbsp. oil
1 - 1 1/3 c. warm water

Toppings:
2 - 3 c. fresh spinach
.15 lbs. thinly sliced Canadian bacon
3 Roma tomatoes, chunked
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 c. pizza cheese

Combine tomato sauce, paste, and Italian seasoning in a small pot and simmer while preparing crust.

Combine flour, yeast, salt, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl. Mix in honey, oil, and warm water (may have to use hands, it's pretty thick). Roll out on a lightly greased pizza pan or cookie sheet, depending on how thick you want the crust to be.

Evenly top with spinach. Spoon over sauce and spread evenly. Top with 1 1/2 c. cheese. Evenly distribute Canadian bacon, tomato, and onion over the top. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 min. Broil on high 2 additional min. Cool, slice, and enjoy!
