Notes
- The Pizza Dough
- Extra Tips for Making the Best Pizza
- The toppings make enough for 1 large pizza that is enough for 2-3 people so you only need half a batch of the basic pizza dough. If you want to serve 4 simple make the full batch and double the toppings or choose different toppings for your second pizza.
- If using traditional pizza dough you'll need to prep it in advance and give it at least 4 hours to prove.
- Make sure to sprinkle the baking tray with a little semolina or flour before transferring the pizza crust. This will stop the crust from sticking and give it a crisper base.
- When wilting the spinach make sure not to cook it for too long is should be 'just wilted' or it'll become too soggy and wet.
- If you're not keen on gorgonzola cheese then taleggio would be a great alternative it's strong enough and melts perfectly.
- If using fresh mozzarella make sure to dry it with kitchen paper to get rid of extra moisture.
- Let the pizza sit for 2-3 minutes before cutting it.
