Preparation Steps
1
Sift the all-purpose flour into a large bowl, add the dry yeast, salt, and sugar, then mix to combine.
2
Pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil, and begin to knead. Work the dough until it is smooth and elastic, then cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
3
Wash the spinach thoroughly, drain it well, and sauté it in a pan with a little olive oil for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Add the finely chopped garlic during the last minute.
4
Divide the risen dough into two equal parts, then roll each out into a circle on a lightly floured surface.
5
On one half of each circle, spread the sautéed spinach, then crumble the goat cheese and sprinkle with grated mozzarella.
6
Sprinkle with oregano, basil, and a pinch of black pepper.
7
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, then press the edges together to seal, preventing the filling from escaping.
8
Brush the top with beaten egg, and prick a few holes with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
9
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
