Rainy Saturday Spinach Pizza

We got our errands done early, and wanted to dig into DVRed TV, so I whipped up a spinach, pepper, and turkey pepperoni pan pizza. I used plain-wrap pizza crust in the tube from the local market, and made sauce from canned tomato paste and tomato sauce with minced garlics. 

An oil spritz on the pan, and in goes the dough, stretched and pressed into place, topped with sliced mozzarella cheese, then moderately sauced. The spinach, frozen blocks, were thawed and squeezed to eliminate excess moisture, was spread across the sauce.

Italian spices came next, then the turkey pepperoni, and the sliced "ancient" peppers. These peppers are orange, sweet, maybe eight inches by two inches... I found them a couple years ago at an "international" grocery store and have been hooked ever since.

A quick sprinkle of romano cheese and into the oven, for a good 45 minutes...

"Are you sure it isn't overdone? Burned?" 

Nope, it was the dark spinach that inspired that quote...

But... It was a very tasty combination - even though I forgot to add the ripe olives...
