What amazing flavors! I used the mozz/feta combo and added a thin layer of pesto, as another reviewer suggested. Oh yum. This recipe is a perfect venue for experimenting.....tomato, cooked chopped broccoli, bacon.........

I made this for a potluck at work and it got rave reviews! I made it as written, but added some cooked cubed potatoes! The texture and flavor was wonderful. Since then, I have made it a couple more times with additional alterations. In addition to the potatoes, I added sauteed Panchetta and used a ricotta and mozzarella mixture in lieu of the feta and mozzarella mixture. I also have used bacon and the same ricotta and mozzarela mixture. The possibilities are endless! Thanks for a great recipe mandabears!

unbelievable - my sister tried the leftovers and immediately asked for the recipe! I followed it exactly using the feta/mozz mixture and added a thin layer of basil pesto to dough first. Its great dipped in warm pizza sauce, as a meal or appetizer!

This recipe makes very nice bread! I used homemade dough and a variety of fresh local greens that are a bit sturdier than spinach. I dry-fried the chopped greens, then added the oil and garlic as in the recipe. The bread was also nice toasted the next day (though a little messy.) Thank you very much for posting this recipe.
