SERVES 4 PREP 30min COOK about 35min
FOR THE SAUCE
• 400g tin chopped tomatoes
• 3tbsp tomato purée
• Pinch sugar
• 1tsp dried oregano
FOR THE BASES
• 400g plain flour, plus extra to dust
• ½tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 2tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
• 325g natural yogurt
FOR THE TOPPING
• 125g baby spinach
• 2 x 125g balls mozzarella, torn into small pieces
• 40g Italian-style vegetarian hard cheese, grated
• 4 medium eggs
1 Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6 and line 2 large baking trays with baking parchment.
2 For the sauce, simmer ingredients with some seasoning in a pan for 10min, stirring occasionally to thicken. Set aside.
3 In a large bowl, mix flour, bicarbonate of soda and ½tsp fine salt. Add oil and yogurt; mix to make a soft dough. Wrap in baking parchment; set aside for 5min.
4 Meanwhile, put spinach in a colander in the sink and pour over a kettleful of just-boiled water to wilt. When cool enough to handle, lift up handfuls and firmly squeeze out excess moisture.
5 Lightly flour work surface and roll or pat out dough to make four 20cm rounds or two 25 x 33cm rectangles. Transfer to lined trays (if making circles, you might need more trays). Spread over sauce, leaving a 1.5cm border. Divide spinach and cheeses among bases (leaving an empty space in middle of circles, or on each half of rectangles for eggs to be added later).
6 Cook for 10min, then remove from oven and crack an egg on to each pizza (or pizza half if rectangle). Return to the oven for 10-15min until egg is set and dough is crisp. Drizzle with a little oil. Serve.
