Directions

• CrustAdd warm water, yeast, salt, and oil for crust to stand mixer bowl. Mix well. Add kneading attachment to mixer and add the flour to the bowl.
• Turn the mixer on low until the flour is incorporated, then turn to medium for 10–15 minutes. When dough is ready, the sides of the bowl will be clean.
• Put the dough into a large, greased bowl and let it rest until it doubles in size.
• SauceAdd one tablespoon of the olive oil to a preheated sauté pan. Add onions and a little kosher salt and sauté for about 5 minutes, then add garlic. Continue to sauté until the onions are very soft and are starting to caramelize.
• Add the other tablespoon of olive oil and the tablespoon of flour. Cook for 2–3 minutes. Add milk while continually whisking. Turn heat to high, bring to a bowl, then reduce to a simmer.
• Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste. Continue to simmer until pizza dough is ready.
• PizzaPreheat oven to its highest temperature.
• Spread a pizza stone lightly with cornmeal. Turn the dough out on the stone and stretch it to the size of the stone. Pre-bake it until it just starts to lightly brown.
• Remove from oven and top with sauce, Parmesan, spinach, artichokes, mozzarella cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes, if using.
• Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted and pizza is starting to brown around the edges.
