Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
To make the dough in a bread machine: Combine the ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed. Use the "dough" setting.
To make the dough by hand: Combine the yeast, warm water, and sugar in a large mixing bowl and set aside for five to ten minutes. When there's about half an inch of froth on top, the yeast is ready. Add the olive oil and salt. Add the flour gradually and keep kneading the dough until it's smooth.
Roll the dough out onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake it in the oven for about five minutes, just until the top looks golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and arrange the sliced onions, mushrooms, and chopped spinach on top. Drizzle the pizza with olive oil and sprinkle it with salt, pepper, thyme, and sesame seeds.
Bake for five to ten minutes more, until it looks done.
