Pizza - Spinach and Mozzarella

Pizza is a family favourite and the variety of toppings is only limited by one’s imagination. This one is spinach and mozzarella which with tomatoes, reflect the colours of the Italian flag, other choices can be a good salami or pepperoni with sweet onions and tomatoes. I’ve used the ‘00’ flour which is now widely available and gives a fine textured finish or you could use strong (bread) flour.

Ingredients

Pizza dough for bases:

500g (1 lb 2 oz) ‘OO’ flour

15g dried yeast, 2 sachets

½ tsp salt

3 tbsp olive oil

300ml (10 fl oz) tepid water

Tomato sauce:

2 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, grated

1 x 400g can of good quality chopped tomatoes

1 tbsp tomato purée

½ tsp caster sugar

Salt and black pepper

Topping:

200g (7 oz) young spinach leaves

25g (1 oz) butter

Salt and black pepper

Grating of nutmeg

3 balls of mozzarella cheese, sliced

Black olives, sliced - optional

Method

1. Firstly make the pizza dough by placing the flour, yeast and salt into a bowl and mixing together then make a well in the centre. Add the oil and most of the tepid water and mix well, adding the remaining water as required. (Different flours and how they are stored means they may differ slightly on the amount of water).

2. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth – use a stand mixer with the dough hook or by hand. Cover the bowl with cling film and place next to the AGA to rise for an hour.

3. Meanwhile make the tomato sauce by heating the oil in a saucepan. Gently fry the onion and garlic on the Simmering Plate until soft but not coloured. Add the tomatoes, tomato purée and sugar. Stir and bring to the boil on the Boiling Plate, boil for about 3-4 minutes until the mixture has thickened to a spreadable consistency, cool and season.

4. Wash the spinach leaves, melt the butter in a pan with the salt and black pepper, add the spinach leaves. Cover with a lid and cook on the Simmering Plate for about 4 minutes, drain well then season with a little grated nutmeg.

5. Take the dough from the bowl and divide into three pieces. Knead each piece into a ball then roll out into a circle about 25cm (10 inches) in diameter, place onto a circle of Bake-O-Glide.

6. Brush the surface of the dough with a little olive oil. Leave to rise for 15 minutes then spread with the tomato sauce, (any sauce left-over can be frozen) arrange the drained spinach, mozzarella cheese slices and black olives (if used) over the top.

7. Cook direct on the floor of the Roasting Oven for 10-12 minutes, until crisp and cooked through. Serve with salad.

Conventional cooking
Cook the sauce and spinach on the hob. Bake at 220ºC (425ºF), fan oven 200ºC, Gas Mark 7 on a Bake-O-Glide lined baking tray in the centre of the oven for 12-15 minutes.
