Ingredients

Scale
  • simple thin crust pizza dough
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian herbs
  • 1 handful (about 1 C) spinach leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1 C shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Italian meat– salami, capicola ham, prosciutto, etc
  • 1/4 C grated Parmesan cheese


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 500° (to use with a baking stone/steel) or 450° (to use with a baking sheet).

2. Make the pizza dough. (One portion per 10-12 breadsticks).

3. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 10″x15″. Drizzle olive oil across the top of the dough, then sprinkle the salt, pepper, and spices on top. Distribute the chopped spinach, cheeses, and meat evenly across the dough.

4. Fold the bottom third of the rectangle up towards the middle. Fold the top third down, to form a sealed “envelope”. Use a dough scraper or knife to divide the dough envelope into 10-12 strips.

5. Twist each strip twice and place on a piece of parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 500°, or 12-15 minutes at 450°.

6. Let cool slightly and serve with marinara dipping sauce.
