Ingredients
125 g strong white flour, plus extra to dust
1/2 tsp. fast action dried yeast
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
75 g spinach leaves
2 Tbsp. tomato purée
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
125 g ball mozzarella, torn into small pieces
2 large eggs
Directions
Step 1
Put the flour, yeast and ¼tsp salt into a large bowl. Quickly mix in 75ml warm water and ½ tbsp of the olive oil to make a soft, but not sticky, dough (add more flour/water as necessary). Tip on to a work surface lightly dusted with flour and knead for 10min. Form into a ball, put back in the bowl and cover with clingfilm. Leave to rise for 15min.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan oven) mark 7. Heat 1tbsp of the remaining oil in a large frying pan and gently cook the onion for 15min until very soft; add the spinach and cook for a further 2-3min until wilted. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, stir together the tomato purée, oregano, remaining ½tbsp oil and plenty of seasoning.
Step 4
Flour a large baking tray. Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to make a rectangle roughly 20.5cm x 30.5cm. Transfer to the prepared baking tray and cook in the oven for 5min until the base is just beginning to dry out. Take out of oven and lower temperature to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4.
Step 5
Spread the tomato mixture over the dough, leaving a 2cm border around the edge. Top with the mozzarella, followed by the onion mixture.
Step 6
Crack an egg on to each half; season. Return to the oven for 15-20min until pizza is golden and eggs are cooked. Serve.
