Ingredients

None None FOR THE PIZZA DOUGH
2 1/2 cups flour, sifted
1 pkg (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
4 tsp olive oil
None None FOR THE PIZZA TOPPING
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
8 oz sliced mozzarella cheese
5 oz shaved ham, chopped
1 None red pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
2 None red onions, thinly sliced
None None Baby spinach, for garnish

Preparation

For the pizza dough, mix flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Combine 1 cup warm water with 2 tsp of the olive oil; stir into dry ingredients with a wooden spoon, until dough becomes too firm to stir.
Using hands, form dough into a ball, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 2 mins, until smooth and elastic.
Brush a large bowl with remaining 2 tsp olive oil. Place dough in a bowl, turning to grease all over. Cover with plastic wrap and a clean tea towel. Let stand in a warm place for 1 hour, until doubled in size. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently.
Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0F. Grease 2 baking pans. Halve dough and roll out each piece to a 13 x 9 inch rectangle. Place on prepared pans.
Brush combined oil and garlic over each pizza crust, leaving a 1/2 inch border around edges. Top with mozzarella, ham, pepper and onion.
Bake for 15 mins, until pizza is golden and bottom is crisp. Top with spinach and serve.
