Spinach & Mushroom Pizza With Whole Wheat Crust

I do love pizza but I've gotten to where I don't enjoy eating it unless I make it at home. Delivery pizza is always so greasy. I guess that is what makes people like it so much. I don't feel good about eating it that way though, no matter how good it tastes. I have my go to pizza crust recipe which you can find HERE that is very good. I found another pizza crust recipe that sounded really good and though I might like to try it, just to see the difference. I'm glad I did, it was very good and made with whole wheat flour for extra nutrition. It came from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food Magazine. I decided to keep my ingredients simple and meatless on this one. I am a fan of the spinach & mushroom combination and when paired with mozzarella & Parmesan cheese it makes a great topping for pizza. I used my go to sauce recipe which is so simple and cheap to make. I hope you enjoy, thanks Mrs. Martha Stewart!
