In the bowl of a stand mixer, measure the flour and salt. Stir with a whisk before adding the instant yeast. Mixing the salt in the flour first is too make sure that the yeast and salt do not come in direct contact, which can influence how the yeast behaves. Whisk the yeast in the flour. Add the water and olive oil to the bowl and, with a dough hook, mix on low speed (3) for 1 minute. Stop the mixer and scrape the side and bottom of the bowl. Mix on low speed for another 2 minutes and stop again. Let the dough rest in the bowl for 10 minutes. Start the mixer again, 10 minutes this time on speed 2. Transfer the dough to a well oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise until doubled, approximately 1 hour.", "TOMATO SAUCE:

In the meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Crush the tomatoes with your hands and place in a pot. Then, it's pretty easy, just add the oil, garlic cloves, oregano, parsley, basil, 1 tsp of salt, and simmer over low heat for an hour, stirring every 10 minutes or so. Taste and add salt if necessary. Remove from the heat and let cool. Once cooled, mix the sauce to bind with the olive oil. The sauce should have thickened and be rich.", "DOUGH:

Everything is ready, we're almost done! Cover the dough with a generous amount of tomato sauce, leaving an inch on every side. Then, cover the sauce with a layer of zucchini and eggplant slices. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the dough is a light golden colour. Let cool for 15 minutes before adding the onions, fresh herbs, spinach and cheese. Serve right away or cold. Keep the leftovers, if any, in an airtight container up to 4 days."]
