Heat the oven to 375 degrees and take the pizza dough out of the fridge and bring it to room temperature.
Ask a question about this stepWhile the dough is warming up In a large pot juice the lemon thoroughly. Add the spinach and a little bit of water and zest about 1 teaspoon of the lemon into the pot. Cover and set on low. Cook the spinach for a few minutes until it is wilted and a bright green. Salt and pepper to taste.
Ask a question about this stepChop the garlic and set it aside.
Ask a question about this stepRoll out the pizza dough to the thickness of your choice. I place cornmeal down on the rolling board before I roll out the dough but you could use regular flour as well.

Ask a question about this stepwow ... a quite a pizza combo ... i don't even know what basturma is ... can't wait to learn more! I love the TJ"s pizza crust to, i usually let it sit out for 30 min then roll it out wits some cornmeal or flour to help it not stick ... i must say though, i love thick crusts so i don't roll it out too much. I took this pizza to a summer concert in the park and it was an instant hit :D let me know how it turns out!

This pizza looks so delicious. We have taken to having "pizza parties" in which we put various (and many) ingredients out on a long counter and let people make their own creation. (Trader Joe's Pizza dough is so good -- do you find it hard to get it to roll out though? I fixed this by just rolling it, then stretching it out on a large greased cookie sheet). Our last most interesting pizza was a quail egg and Basturma pizza. (Which hopefully I will post soon). Can't wait to try this one! Thanks!
