To make the dough, dissolve yeast in warm water, let sit 5 minutes. Mix dry ingredients together. Add oil and water-yeast mixture. Knead for 10-15 minutes for best texture. An electric mixer is helpful, but not necessary.
Let the dough rise in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 450 F. Roll out dough ball on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Place dough on a baking sheet or pizza peel. Top with spinach, tomatoes, basil, oregano, garlic, black pepper, and mozzarella. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese melts and crust is crisp.
