Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F.

Add the spinach and sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the spinach is wilted and just tender, 2-4 minutes. Stir in the lentils, then taste and adjust seasonings. Set aside.

Punch down the dough. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out into a circle about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to a lightly floured pizza pan or baking sheet and bake on the bottom over rack for 8 minutes.
