Ingredients
Tomato pizza sauce
- 400 g crushed tomatoes (1 tin)
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 handful basil or oregano, chopped (optional)
- salt and pepper
Pizza Base
- 2¼ cups spelt flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ tablespoon salt
- 1 cup Greek yoghurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- extra spelt flour for kneading
Toppings
- 400 g cooked lamb, shredded
- ½ red onion, sliced
- 100 g feta, crumbled
- olive oil
- 1 handful baby spinach leaves
Mint yoghurt
- 4 tablespoons Greek yoghurt
- 2 tablespoons mint sauce
- 1 handful mint leaves, chopped (optional)
Place pizza stone (or tray covered with baking paper) in oven when cold and heat oven to 200°C for about 10 minutes while you prepare the dough.
To make tomato pizza sauce: Place tomatoes, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper in a small frying pan and boil on medium-high heat for 10 minutes, or until sauce thickens. Stir occasionally, then put aside.
To make the base:
- Sift spelt flour with baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Sift again to make sure the baking powder is mixed through evenly.
- Add yoghurt and olive oil and mix until the dough comes together.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead for 5-8 minutes, until elastic.
- Add more flour as you knead. It is ready when the top of the dough bounces back when pressed, leaving no indentation.
- Cut dough into quarters.
- On a lightly floured surface (ideally a wooden board so the dough doesn’t stick), roll to preferred thickness.
- Spread with tomato sauce, and then top with lamb, onion and feta.
- Drizzle with a little olive oil and transfer to hot pizza stone or tray in oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, mix yoghurt, mint sauce and chopped mint.
- When pizza is cooked, remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
- Drizzle with mint yoghurt and top with spinach leaves.
