Stromboli *Inspired by Giada De Laurentiis*

I was watching the food network and I saw Giada De Laurentiis make something that caught my eye.  She made a "Prosciutto Mozzarella Pinwheel".  When I made it, I decided to twist it up a bit, since I'm not crazy about prosciutto.  I replaced it with pepperoni, but you can use whatever Italian meat you like to make it delicious! 

For this recipe you will need:
1 pound pizza dough,
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese,
pepperoni,
baby spinach,
olive oil.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pizza dough into a circle, approximately 12" round and 1/4" thick.  Sprinkle half of the mozzarella over the dough.  Arrange the pepperoni over the cheese in a thin layer.  Sprinkle with the spinach, and the remaining cheese.  Roll the dough carefully into a cylinder shape, tucking in the ends.  Brush the roll with a little bit of olive oil.  Place the dough on a non stick baking sheet, lightly sprayed with pam.  Bake for about 25 minutes or until the dough is a golden brown color.  Cool the roll for about 5 minutes and then slice it with a serrated knife into 1 inch pieces.
