Directions:Preheat oven to 450º. A hot oven is essential. Mix spinach, oil, garlic and olives. Add plenty of salt and pepper to taste. On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a rough circle approximately 10 inches wide. Spread 1/4 of the filling in the center of the circle leaving a 1-inch border. Place 1/4 of the cheese (and pepperoni) on top of the spinach. Fold dough in half and seal the edge to create a calzone/turnover shape. Transfer Pies to baking pan. Brush top with olive oil. Bake 8-10 minutes until the top is golden brown. |
