Preparation

  1. Heat your oven to 200°C. Season the mince with onion powder, garlic powder, and a good grinding of black pepper.

  2. Brown the mince in a heavy pan, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat.

  3. Divide the pizza dough into 2 or 3 portions, depending on appetites. Roll each portion out to roughly 20cm circles. (Don't fuss about perfect circles — rustic is the point here)

  4. Spread the mince, squeezed spinach, and cheese over half of each circle, leaving a decent border for sealing.

  5. Fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges firmly to seal. Place seam-side down on a baking tray. (Press any thin spots with extra dough pinched from thicker areas)

  6. 12 mins

    Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and properly puffed.

  7. Serve immediately with the tomato sauce warmed for dipping.
