Asparagus and Spinach Pizza

Once you’ve made your dough and sauce (see the previous recipes), you can play around with toppings for your pizza. Because it’s been asparagus season, I used asparagus for my most recent pizza, but other toppings having included spinach, olives, and feta, tofu and broccoli, and fake meat products. Anything you’d order from a restaurant or buy at a grocery store you can make at home!

Ingredients:
1 portion pizza dough (see earlier recipe)
2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for the tray/dish
1 portion pizza sauce (see previous recipe)
1 bunch asparagus
1 cup fresh spinach
1 package mozzarella cheese (about 200 g)
50 g cheddar cheese
black pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. Roll out the pizza dough and place it on an oiled pizza stone or a baking tray, or in an oiled oven-safe dish. Pre-bake at 180 C for 5 minutes.
2. Spread the sauce over the base.
3. Wash and chop the asparagus and spinach. Place it over the sauce.
4. Shred the cheeses and top the veg with the cheese. Sprinkle with olive oil and black pepper.
5. Bake for about 15 minutes at 180 C.
