In a large bowl, combine water, yeast, honey, and olive oil; mix; let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add flour and salt; mix until sticky. Knead on a floured surface. Let rise in an oiled bowl covered with a towel in a warm place for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
In a skillet, melt butter; sauté onions with salt and pepper until browned, about 20 minutes. Add garlic, spinach and lemon juice, cooking until spinach is wilted.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Dust a 10x15 inch baking sheet with flour or cornmeal.
Roll out the risen dough to fit the baking sheet; brush with olive oil. Spread on the sautéed spinach and onions; top with smoked Mozzarella; dollop with Ricotta.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
Serve, topped with crushed red pepper flakes, Parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs.
Serve.
