Step 1

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. If using a pizza stone put it in the oven before turning on the heat.

Step 2

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm (110 degree F) water. The temperature is right when it just barely feels warm to your finger. Water that is too hot will kill the yeast.

Step 3

Let yeast mixture stand for 5 minutes until frothy.

Step 4

Add flour, olive oil and salt and stir together (or use a stand mixer with the dough hook) until a soft dough forms. If dough is to wet mix in an additional flour a teaspoon at a time until no longer sticky. If too dry, mix in additional water a teaspoon at a time.

Step 5

Roll dough into a ball and let rest about 5 minutes while you gather the pizza toppings.

Step 6

On a clean floured surface roll dough to about a 12 inch wide circle.

Step 7

Spray pizza pan or stone with non-stick spray. Place dough on pizza pan or pizza stone.

Step 8

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, place olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly so garlic doesn’t brown.

Step 9

Add Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and stir.

Step 10

Sprinkle in flour and whisk quickly until it is a thick paste.

Step 11

Stir in milk small amounts at a time, whisking constantly.

Step 12

Add Parmesan cheese and stir, then turn heat to low and let simmer 5 - 8 minutes to thicken. Stir often.

Step 13

Spread the white sauce over the rolled out dough.

Step 14

Cut goat cheese into thin shaved or crumbled pieces.

Step 15

Top pizza with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and all of the spinach leaves.

Step 16

Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese and goat cheese on top.

Step 17

Bake for about 15 minutes.
