A Taste Of Italy, Entree

What can we say about this pizza? It is reminiscent of Caprese salad, yet still delicious and unique. This whole recipe takes almost 2 hours, so it's not the greatest for surprise dinner guests. It is great for your family on pizza night, and much healthier than regular order in pizza.
Ingredients For Pizza Dough:
1/2 pound of flour(8 oz)
2/3 cup water
1 packet quick rise yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup semolina flour
Directions For Pizza Dough:
Mix flour, yeast and water together, and make sure the water is warm, but not too hot. Then add salt and oil to the mixture. Then place a wet cloth over the bowl with the dough for about half an hour. That is a not a precise time, but you know when it's ready when the dough has doubled its size. Preheat the oven at 500F for 1 hour. Roll out the pizza dough and pour the sauce on (optional). Ingredients for the sauce are shown below.The amount shown is enough for about two slices. Then add toppings. You can put any toppings you want, but the ones shown below are the ones we used, and are recommended. Bake for 10 minutes.
Ingredients For Tomato Sauce:
1 cup Pomi brand marinara sauce
teaspoon salt
3 grinds pepper
2 large pinches salt
Directions For Tomato Sauce:
Mix well. Once you have followed the above directions for dough, pour it on. Cook as directed above.
Ingredients For Toppings:
1 tomato, sliced
7 slices of mozzerella, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup of spinach
A sprinkle of salt
A sprinkle of olive oil
Directions For Toppings:
Top pizza before cooking. Make sure you space out the mozzerella well, so the whole pizza is covered with cheese once it melts.
