What's for Dinner?

Tweet

Tonight, I made something that my mother would make occasionally. Once I learned how to make it, my husband used to beg for it all the time. I enjoy it so much and it always feels strange these days not to have my mother or my husband here to share it with me. Mom always called it a spinach pie. She also made one with sausage. Basically, what you do is take dough and let it rise, then stretch it out on a cookie sheet. You can put anything on the dough that you wish. It's as if you're making a pizza. Tonight I sauteed onions and then cooked up a bag of baby spinach in with the onions. I let that cool and then spread it over the dough. I added some olives and then sprinkled shredded cheese over the whole thing. At that point, I could have baked it just like that and made a pizza, but I didn't. I could have cut it up and folded it over to make calzones, but I didn't. lol I rolled the whole thing up like a jelly roll. I added some olive oil to the outside of the dough and baked it at 350. I checked it after 30 minutes and it was done! So I took it out of the oven and let it cool before slicing it up. It came out perfect. I just had some iced tea with it and remembered the good times having it with my loved ones. I have more dough so I'll make another one tomorrow. This time I'll add some pepperoni to give it more of a kick. :) What are you having? -Claudia- image from Pixabay
