Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Pizza

Add Toppings
Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of olive oil over the crust. Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by spinach, diced tomatoes, red onions, and sliced mushrooms. Drizzle a little olive oil on top and season with salt and pepper.
