Instructions: Combine the yeast, sugar, lukewarm water and 35g (1 1/2oz) flour in a large bowl with your hands. Let it proof for 10 minutes and add the remaining flour, salt, olive oil and water and mix well with a wooden spoon. Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead for 7-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. The dough should feel moist to the touch.

The dough can be made with an electric mixer, mix for 5-7 minutes, or a food processor for about 1 minute. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and tutn to coat with oil. Cover with cling film and let it rise in a warm place for 1 1/2-2 hours until doubled in size.

For the topping use fresh spinach leaves, sliced ricotta, a pinch of nutmeg and salt and ground black pepper.
