Four Cheese Pizza with Shrimp and Spinach on Honey-Whole Wheat Sourdough Crust

How's that for a title? Now here's how to make it: The first thing is to have ready a batch of sourdough or other bread dough of your choice (see previous posts).

For the topping, start by sauteing some chopped onion, peppers (I used sweet and hot peppers) raw chopped shrimp, and garlic. Do this in a hot pan using virgin olive oil over medium-high heat.

When the shrimp is cooked and the peppers and onions are translucent but not browned (be careful not to burn the garlic) transfer it to a plate and set aside.

Wipe the pan out, add a little more olive oil, along with some chopped spinach (that has been washed and dried), and a little more garlic (sorry...I like a lot of garlic) and some hot pepper flakes.

When the spinach is wilted add some diced tomatoes and cook it for a few minutes while stirring.

Rub a pizza pan with some olive oil, place the dough on it, and rather than using a rolling pin...push and mold the dough to the pan using your fingers.

Spread a thin coating of tomato sauce across the dough, and sprinkle it with the spinach/tomato mixture.


Add some shredded mozzarella, and then the shrimp/pepper mixture.


Top with cheddar, Colby, and a sprinkling of Parmesan.

Bake in a 450F preheated oven for about 10 minutes (maybe 15, depending on your oven). Let it cool for about ten minutes before slicing
