This is basically like heaven on pizza if you ask me. Sweet fennel, caramelized mushrooms a fresh pop of spinach kinda of tastes like a party in my mouth.
Are you over my fennel obsession yet? No? Oh good, me neither. Yes? Ok, sorry not sorry ?.
I find myself wanting/needed homemade pizza about once a month. Maybe more, and I must admit this is one of my faves. You can find all my pizza recipes here!
