- Meanwhile heat the remaining oil in a pan and cook the onions for 5-10 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic. Remove from the heat and set aside. Rinse spinach and cook in a large pan for 2-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Drain thoroughly and then stir in nutmeg.
- Preheat oven to 200°C, 400°F, Gas Mark 6. Fit bowl and add herbs and peppers. Fit the dough hook and knead on speed 2 for 2 minutes, until well combined. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to 30 x 23cm (12 x 9in) rectangle. Place on the baking sheet.
- Spread over the tapenade, top with onions, spinach leaves, goats cheese and pine nuts. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden and cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
