SUNFLOWER SPINACH PIE

Steps:

• Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
• Combine 7 rolls and roll into a 12-inch circle.
• Repeat with remaining rolls.
• Cover both circles with plastic wrap and let rest.
• Boil spinach for one minute and drain well.
• Pat dry as much as possible.
• Mix dry spinach with ricotta cheese.
• Add 1 egg, cheese and bacon.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove wrap from dough and place one circle on a sprayed 12-inch pizza pan.
• Sprinkle bread crumbs on the dough (helpful hint: only place bread crumbs in the areas where the spinach mixture will be) to absorb excess moisture.
• Place a large dollop (about 3/4 cup) of the spinach filling in the middle of the circle and spread the remainder in a ring about 1 inch from the edge of the circle and not touching the middle dollop.
• Lightly brush the edge of the dough with water to help seal the pie.
• Also lightly brush the dough around the mound of filling with water.
• Place the second circle of dough over the spinach filling.
• Arrange it so the edges of the dough meet.
• Press the edges together with a fork all the way around.
• Place a bowl carefully over the dough covered spinach mound in the center of the circle and gently but firmly press down to seal the dough.
• Leave bowl in place and using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife cut the pie in 20-24 slices from the bowl to the edgel.
• Twist each slice so the spinach shows.
• Remove the bowl.
• Mix the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush over all of the dough.
• Sprinkle the center with sesame seeds.
• Bake at 350°F 25-30 minutes or until dough is a deep golden brown.
