Directions
Chicago-Style Stuffed Spinach Pizza, This is my favorite pizza. It’s a little work but, to me, it’s worth every minute. Another recipe that I clipped years ago from the Chicago Trib. The prep time includes the dough rising time, though it may be less if you’re using quick-rise yeast, which works fine with this recipe., This is a great recipe and parallels my favorite take out pizza! I modified the filling to suit my tastes and you certainly can use it as a base for any ingredients. used a non stick cheesecake pan and the pizza was even all the way around with me having to scrub! definitely recommend this recipe!
