Steps:

• For the crust:.
• In a large bowl (or in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook) combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
• Add the water and oil and mix well.
• If making by hand, turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minute by hand, 5-7 by stand mixer).
• Shape the dough into a ball and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F
• Use olive oil to lightly grease a round pizza pan. Roll out the dough and press into the pan. Allow to rest for another 10-15 minutes.
• Brush the crust with olive oil and before adding the toppings.
• While the dough is resting in the pan, brown the meat in a sauté pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the onion and sauté about 5 minutes (or until translucent).
• Add the cumin, tomato paste, water, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5-10 minutes uncovered.
• Layer the meat sauce on the pizza crust, leaving the edge uncovered.
• Top with spinach, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, tomatoes, and Feta cheese.
• Bake in a 400°F for 25-30 minutes until the crust is lightly browned and the cheese crumbles have melted.
