Spinach Artichoke Dip Deep Dish Pizza (Coconut oil substitute)

Just in time for the Superbowl, I have created a spinach artichoke dip deep dish pizza...
and since I recently started cooking with coconut oil, I decided to substitute all oil and grease with it.

Ingredients list -

PIZZA DOUGH:
dry -
3 1/2 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour
1 pkg. active dry yeast, fast rising
3/4 tsp. salt
wet -
1 1/4 c. hot water (80-100F)
2 tsp. honey
1 tbsp. of coconut oil

For the Cooked spinach:
1 tsp of coconut oil
1 1/2 bags of fresh baby spinach
Make:
2 cups of cooked spinach

For the cooked artichokes:
1 can of artichokes
2 garlic (diced)
1 tsp of coconut oil
Make:
2 cups of cooked artichokes

SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP:
3 tbs of coconut oil
3 tbs of flour
1 1/2 cups of milk
1 cup of uncompressed Parmesan cheese
1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese
1 block of cream cheese
2 cups of cooked spinach
2 cups of cooked artichokes

Step 1: Make the dough...

For the dough:

Need:

DRY INGREDIENTS
3 1/2 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour
1 pkg. active dry yeast, fast rising
3/4 tsp. salt

WET INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 c. hot water (80-100F)
2 tsp. honey
1 tbsp. of coconut oil

FOR ROLLING:
You will need:
1/4 cup of cornmeal
1 tbs of ground coffee
Combine...and use for rolling.

Whisk dry ingredients together. Mix wet ingredients together. This will give the most even ingredient distribution to create a pizza dough with a perfect mixture. Note that the coconut oil is solid at room temperature. Since yeast will be used, I recommend the hot water remains below 100F.

This is now my favorite pizza ever. Prior to this, it was the deep dish spinoccoli from some place in Chicago I forget now. One slice is a day's sustenance!

Actually I got this idea after having tried my first deep dish ever in Chicago this year, and combined it with my love for spinach artichoke dip. It tastes good after freezing and reheating too!
