This recipe comes from the mountains of Northern Italy, where goat farming has a great tradition. 'Caprini' means fresh goat's cheese, whose distinctive, slightly tart flavour forms a perfect contrast with the sweet tomato and iron-rich spinach. A true spring dish that is all about freshness and lightness.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Frying pan for wilting spinach
  • Pizza baking tray
  • Rolling pin or surface for hand stretching

Allergen Information

⚠️ Cereals containing gluten
⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan, throw in the crushed garlic, then the spinach. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted.

Tip: Most of the water content of the spinach leaves at this point, so it won't release juice onto the pizza.
2 ✓

Squeeze excess water from the spinach if necessary.

Tip: Dry toppings are the secret to a crispy crust.
3 ✓

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface, then place on the tray.

Tip: Let the dough rest at room temperature before stretching so the gluten strands relax and the dough doesn't spring back.
4 ✓

Spread thinly with the tomato sauce, season with salt and pepper.

Tip: The principle of 'less is more' applies: too much sauce weighs down the dough.
5 ✓

Distribute the wilted spinach over it and crumble the goat's cheese on top.

Tip: Goat's cheese doesn't melt like mozzarella, instead it browns and the inside becomes creamy.
6 ✓

Bake in an oven preheated to 220°C for 12-15 minutes until the edge of the dough browns.

Tip: High heat forms a crust on the dough instantly, trapping steam, which keeps the inside soft.
7 ✓

After baking, sprinkle with fresh basil and drizzle with a few drops of olive oil.

Tip: Raw olive oil at the end serves as a 'seasoning', enhancing flavours.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use frozen spinach?
Yes, but squeeze the water out very thoroughly after defrosting, otherwise it will make the pizza soggy.
What goat's cheese should I buy?
Fresh, spreadable (chèvre) type is best for this purpose, as it bakes creamy and doesn't become rubbery.
