Cooking instruction summary:

For gluten-free crust: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.Stir the yeast and teaspoon of brown sugar together with cup of the water and let stand for 10 minutes until dissolved.Whisk dry ingredients together in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk the olive oil, egg white and rice vinegar together. Add the liquid ingredients along with the yeast to the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or electric mixer, mix until well combined. If it's too dry, add a little more of the reserved water. The dough will be very soft, almost like a stiff batter, but not like traditional bread dough.Brush a large pizza pan or baking sheet with a little olive oil and sprinkle with a thin layer of corn meal. Transfer the dough to the pan. Lightly oil your hand and press into the pan all the way to the edges. (If you're using a rectangular baking sheet, it probably won't reach the edges.) Make sure it's even. Add a little more oil to your hands if you need to.Let crust stand for about 15-20 minutes while the oven is heating up. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden on the edges. Remove and brush the crust with a little more olive oil. Set aside until ready to layer with toppings.For toppings: Heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes or until softened. Add the artichoke hearts and cook for another 1-2 minutes, then add the spinach. Turn off heat and let spinach wilt a little in the pan. Spread over the partially baked crust. Top evenly with remaining ingredients except for the fresh oregano leaves.Place pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the crust is golden on the edges and the toppings are warmed through. Remove and transfer to a cutting board. Sprinkle with the oregano leaves and serve.

Food Trivia

Cooking food is one of the great revolutionary innovations of history because it not only transformed the way we prepare food, but because it also became a center of cultural communion and organized society.

Food Joke

I tried not to be biased in hiring a handicapped person, but his placement counselor assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy. I had never had a mentally-handicapped employee, and I wasn't sure I wanted one. I wasn't sure how my customers would react to Stevie. He was short, a little dumpy, and had the smooth facial features and thick-tongued speech of Down Syndrome. I wasn't worried about most of my trucker customers because truckers don't generally care who buses tables as long as the meatloaf platter is good and the pies are homemade. The four-wheeler drivers were the ones who concerned me; the mouthy college kids traveling to school; the yuppie snobs who secretly polish their silverware with their napkins for fear of catching some dreaded "truck stop germ;" the pairs of white-shirted business men on expense accounts who think every truck stop waitress wants to be flirted with. I knew those people would be uncomfortable around Stevie so I closely watched him for the first few weeks. I shouldn't have worried. After the first week, Stevie had my staff wrapped around his stubby little finger, and within a month my truck regulars had adopted him as their official truck stop mascot. After that, I really didn't care what the rest of the customers thought of him. He was like a 21-year-old in blue jeans and Nikes, eager to laugh and eager to please, but fierce in his attention to his duties. Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place, not a bread crumb or coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table. Our only problem was convincing him to wait to clean a table until after the customers were finished. He would hover in the background, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, scanning the dining room until a table was empty. Then he would scurry to the empty table and carefully bus the dishes and glasses onto a cart and meticulously wipe the table up with a practiced flourish of his rag. If he thought a customer was watching, his brow would pucker with added concentration. He took pride in doing his job exactly right, and you had to love how hard he tried to please each and every person he met. Over time, we learned that he lived with his mother, a widow who was disabled after repeated surgeries for cancer. They lived on their Social Security benefits in public housing two miles from the truck stop. Their social worker, who stopped to check on him every so often, admitted they had fallen between the cracks. Money was tight, and what I paid him was probably the difference between them being able to live together and Stevie being sent to a group home. That's why the restaurant was a gloomy place that morning last August, the first morning in three years that Stevie had missed work. He was at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester getting a new valve or something put in his heart. His social worker said that people with Down Syndrome often had heart problems at an early age so this wasn't unexpected, and there was a good chance he would come through the surgery in good shape and be back at work in a few months. A ripple of excitement ran through the staff later that morning when word came that he was out of surgery, in recovery and doing fine. Frannie, my head waitress, let out a war whoop and did a little dance in the aisle when she heard the good news. Belle Ringer, one of our regular trucker customers, stared at the sight of the 50-year-old grandmother of four doing a victory shimmy beside his table. Frannie blushed, smoothed her apron and shot Belle Ringer a withering look. He grinned. "OK, Frannie, what was that all about?" he asked. "We just got word that Stevie is out of surgery and going to be okay." "I was wondering where he was. I had a new joke to tell him. What was the surgery about?" Frannie quickly told Belle Ringer and the other two drivers sitting at his booth about Stevie's surgery, then sighed. "Yeah, I'm glad he is going to be OK," she said, "but I don't know how he and his mom are going to handle all the bills. From what I hear, they're barely getti.
