Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chopped spinach, no salt added, drained and squeezed dry
1/2 cup diced canned red bell pepper (pimentos)
12 large black olives, chopped (optional)
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided
kosher salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 lb frozen pizza dough, thawed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in spinach, peppers, olives, crushed pepper, 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
Roll out pizza dough into a 12-inch round using just enough flour on the work surface and dough to keep it from sticking. Brush off excess flour and transfer dough to a baking sheet. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over the center and mound the spinach mixture on one side of the dough leaving a 1/2-inch border of exposed dough at the edge. Brush the exposed edge with water, and fold the other side of the dough over top, stretching it so that it completely encases the filling. Firmly pinch the edges together sealing the filling inside. Cut 4 slits in the top and brush with remaining olive oil. Bake until crisp and brown, about 20 minutes; cool 10 minutes before serving. Cut in 6 wedges.
