[QUOTE=cbawlmer] Ah, doing it the hard way. I’m sure it’s also the good way, but I’m too lazy/busy to mess with yeast and all that most of the time. [/QUOTE] If there’s a Trader Joe’s near you, they sell bags of pre-made pizza dough for $1.79! ---

Steak, onion, potato, and rutabaga. In other words, a [pasty](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasty). You can leave out the beggy if you want, but they’re better with. Oh, serve them with gravy. Yum! ---

There’s not even a Trader Joe’s in the whole state of Texas. I should look into refrigerated pizza dough though. I never knew if it was any good. ---

The spinach variation that I make contains sauteed leeks and garlic, one package chopped frozen spinach (defrosted, with liquid squeezed out of it), feta cheese, and crushed fennel seeds, if you like. Sometimes I add an egg to this mixture. IIRC it started out life as a filling for pasta. It’s yummy.
