* 1 (10-ounce) package fresh spinach 
* 2 cups (1/4-inch-thick) sliced onion

== Directions ==
# To prepare dough, lightly spoon bread flour in to a dry measuring cup; level with a knife.
# Combine 1/2 cup bread flour, warm water, 1 teaspoon sugar, and yeast; stir with a whisk.
# Let stand 15 minutes.
# Lightly spoon 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
# Combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup bread flour, and salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk.
# Make a well in center of mixture.
# Add yeast mixture to flour mixture; stir well.
# Turn dough out onto a floured surface.
# Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of remaining all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel tacky).
# Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top.
# Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in size. (Gently press 2 fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.)
# Punch dough down; cover and let rest 5 minutes.
# To prepare topping, cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp.
# Remove bacon from pan, reserving 2 teaspoons drippings.
# Set bacon aside.
# Add spinach to drippings in pan; sauté 2 minutes or until wilted.
# Place spinach in a colander, pressing until barely moist.
# Add onion and 2 teaspoons sugar to pan; cook 12 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently.
# Remove from heat; cool.
# Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
# Add garlic; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
# Add 3 tablespoons flour and pepper, stirring with a whisk; cook 30 seconds.
# Gradually add milk, stirring constantly with a whisk.
# Cook 5 minutes or until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly with a whisk.
# Preheat oven to 475°.
# Roll dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.
# Place on a 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet coated with cooking spray and sprinkled with cornmeal.
# Crimp edges of dough with fingers to form a rim.
# Spread milk mixture evenly over dough; top with spinach and onion.
# Bake at 475° for 20 minutes.
# Sprinkle evenly with bacon and cheese; bake an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown.
# Cut pizza into 8 wedges.
