Bolognese Pizza! (quorn)


Ingredients:

Base
650gr Plain Flour
2 Teaspoons Salt
2 Teaspoons Sugar
7gr Dried Yeast
20ml Olive oil
1/2 Teaspoon of Basil, 1/2 Teaspoon Oregano and a small squirt of garlic puree
400ml Warm Water

Method:

1: Sift the flour, salt, sugar and yeast together in a bowl (again, I usually sift at least twice to mix all ingredients together)
2: Add the Basil, Oregano and a small squirt of garlic puree
3: Add the oil and the warm water and cut into the flour
4: Knead the dough until smooth and elastic
5: Cover and let it rise for an hour, Knock down and let rise for another hour
Divide in half, roll out into a circle and
6 Bake for about 10 mins at about 160degrees

Topping:

I kind of improvise this bit.

1 Bag Spinach
2 onions
Quorn mince - usually about 150grams ish
1 pack of Mozzarella
Garlic puree
Red Pesto
Tomato Puree
Basil, Rosemary, Mint, Oregano


Method:

1: Place some butter in a pan
2: Chop the onions, add to the butter and cook them gently with the herbs

I use rough proportions for the herbs with Mint being the least, then rosemary, then basil and Oregano being the most. No more than a teaspoon of Oregano.

3: Wilt the spinach in the pan and add some garlic puree and about 2 teaspoons of red pesto
I tend to add a splash of Worcestershire sauce and a teaspoon of marmite, depending on the freshness of the herbs..sometimes the depth and balance of the flavour calls for it.

4: Add the Quorn mince and any more pesto or herbs if need be.

5: Cover the pizza bases with tomato puree then the mince and spinace mixture
sprinkle with mozzarella and bake for about 20 mins at 160degrees or until golden
