âI've been making this recipe for over 25 years. It's how I got my kids to eat spinach when they were little. This is the dish I'm asked to make the most.â Pat Jasper â Northlake, Illinois Ingredients:
1 loaf (1 pound) frozen whole wheat bread dough, thawed |
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean) |
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry |
2/3 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
2 tablespoons grated romano cheese |
3/4 teaspoon dried minced garlic |
3/4 teaspoon fennel seed |
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 egg white, beaten |
pizza sauce, optional |
Directions:
1. Roll dough into a 12-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Transfer to a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Transfer to a large bowl; add the spinach, cheeses, garlic, fennel seed, oregano and salt.
3. Spread beef mixture lengthwise down the center of dough. On each long side, cut 1-in.-wide strips 3 in. into center.
4. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling. Pinch ends to seal. Brush with egg white. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with pizza sauce if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
