Method of preparing the tomato sauce:
-
Peel and dice the garlic and onion, before frying them in some olive oil for 5 minutes or so.
-
Tip the tinned tomatoes into the fried onions, along with the tomato purée and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Heat to a simmer, and then cook it for 5 minutes, stirring once in a while.
Method of preparing the filling:
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Peel and slice the mushrooms, and fry them with some olive oil, salt, and pepper for a couple of minutes.
-
Wash the spinach, then wilt it in a hot pan with a little bit of salt and oil. Drain the spinach, then squeeze out any excess liquid.
Method of preparing the plating:
-
On a floured surface, tear the dough in half. Roll out the dough into a thin circle, approximately the size of a regular dinner plate.
-
Lay your circle on a baking tray, and spoon some tomato sauce onto half of the surface area. Then, scatter over the mushrooms, spinach, artichokes, as well as some grated mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
-
Arrange the contents to make a shallow well, and crack an egg into it. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, and seal it by crimping the edges with an egg wash or a dab of water. Repeat with a second one.
-
Glaze with a beaten egg, and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the dough has puffed up and browned. When it's out of the oven, season with some salt and pepper, as well as plenty of olive oil.
