I beat Mangia at their own game.

Haha! Finally! I did it. I beat Mangia at their own game. I've been at this recipe for years and failure after failure has finally brought me a victory.

I have figured out Mangia's spinach stuffed pizza. Previous failures have included: too watery, not enough cheese, too much cheese, where are the onions?, whoa that's too many onions, that's a lot of sauce, still too watery, thick crust, and so on. Until now...



My pizza crust, divided into two, with it's vessel behind it.

Pressed a whole dough into the cast iron skillet. Fill with cooked (and drained really well) spinach, cooked onion and mushroom, and cheese. I used mozzarella, parmesan and Simon's provologne.


Here's where I've screwed up in the past. Tonight I added a thin crust layer. I also screwed up by adding sauce. Then I realized my mistake and scrapped it off. I put it in a 450 degree oven for 6 minutes to parbake. Afterwards, I added the sauce and a little more cheese and baked for another 12 minutes and booya- stuffed pizza.



Twas tasty.
