Worthy of a Special Occasion

This calzone-like roll mixes fresh spinach with cheese, raisins, and pine nuts—a flavor combination reminiscent of the Mediterranean.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 slice)

Ingredients

  • 1  tablespoon  olive oil
  • 1/2  cup  chopped onion
  • 3  garlic cloves, minced
  • 2  (6-ounce) packages baby spinach
  • 3/4  cup  (3 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
  • 2/3  cup  golden raisins
  • 3  tablespoons  pine nuts, toasted
  • 2  tablespoons  fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  chopped fresh oregano
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  ground red pepper
  • 1  (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
  • Cooking spray
  • 1  tablespoon  2% reduced-fat milk
  • 1  tablespoon  water
  • 1/4  cup  (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450°.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add half of spinach; cook 1 minute or until spinach wilts. Add remaining spinach; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until spinach wilts. Remove from heat; stir in feta and next 6 ingredients (through pepper).

Place dough on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; pat dough into a 15 x 12-inch rectangle. Spread spinach mixture lengthwise over half of dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold other half of dough over filling; press edges together with a fork. Cut 5 (1-inch) diagonal slits in top of dough.

Combine milk and water; brush evenly over dough. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until golden.
