Method
- 1
Heat Oven. Heat the oven to 260 °C with a shelf at the lowest position.
- 2
Make Garlic Oil. Warm oil (45 ml), chopped garlic (2 cloves), rinsed anchovies (2 fillets), pepper (¼ tsp) and chilli flakes (¼ tsp) in a small saucepan over medium, whisking to break up the anchovies, about 4 min until the garlic turns pale gold, tip into a bowl and cool.
- 3
Prepare Prawns. Pat prawns (340 g, cut into 2 cm pieces) dry, toss with salt (¼ tsp), oil (15 ml) and remaining pepper (¼ tsp).
- 4
Shape. Brush the tray with oil (15 ml), press and roll the dough (450 g) to about 38 x 28 cm and lift onto the tray.
- 5
Build. Spread the garlic oil over, lay spinach (30 g) on top, scatter pecorino romano (30 g grated), then mozzarella (225 g grated), dot the prawns over the cheese.
- 6
Bake. Bake 12-16 min, turning halfway, until the crust is deep golden underneath and the prawns are pink, opaque and reach 63 °C.
- 7
Finish. Cool 5 min on a rack, scatter chopped parsley (2 tbsp) and serve with extra chilli flakes.
Storage
Eat straight away whilst the crust is still warm; do not keep leftovers as prawns deteriorate quickly.
Why this label?
35.6 g protein for 701 kcal = 5.1 g per 100 kcal, so protein gives about 20% of the energy. High protein needs at least 20% (5 g per 100 kcal), the condition in the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
EU nutrition claims
- Low sugars: 1.2 g sugars per 100 g (limit ≤ 5 g)
Per 100 g of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 201 g a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
