Delicioso Simple Green and White Pizza!

Pizza. I love it.

Pizza. I ate it in Milan once.

Pizza. It was the best in Milan.

Pizza. I made a Spinach and Cheese Sauce one. 

Pizza. I don't think this one is very authentic.

Pizza. It's pretty good anyway.

I have a problem with pizza... I eat a lot of it.. but that's not the main problem.. 

The main problem is how much I put on top of it!

This is the most restrained pizza I have ever made!

Muffin ate it and said "See? SIMPLE! DELICIOUS!"

He was amazed I could put anything LESS than 6 toppings on it!

Turn heat to high and add the cheddar cheese and vegeta.

Set aside.

In a frying pan, fry mushrooms until softened and brown. Add to spinach.

Flash fry chinese greens. Add to spinach mix. 

In a small pan over low heat, melt butter and add garlic. Turn heat off and leave to sit while you prepare the dough.

Take 1 handful of dough and roll out on a floured surface, into a 6 inch circle.

Repeat!

Place dough on baking tray.

Take a pastry brush (or teaspoon) and brush the garlic butter around the crusts.
