Dough:
1 1/2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp fine sea salt
3/4 cup warm water (not too warm...you don't want to burn the yeast)
1/2 tbs yeast
1 tbs olive oil (regular, not EVOO)
Filling:
20-30 Pepperoni slices
1/2-1 cup mozzerella
1 box frozen spinach, thawed, water squeezed out
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic salt
First, make the dough. It's easiest to use a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. First, add the warm water, and then wisk in the yeast. Then add the oil. Separately, mix the flour and salt. Then add the flour to the water mixture and mix until the dough forms a ball and works its way up the hook. If this doesn't happen, add some more flour, gradually, until the dough moves up the hook. It should still be sticky. Then you need to let the dough rise for 1 hour, covered.
After it rises, flour your hands and punch it down with your fist. Then roll out the dough into a circle or a rectangle, onto a floured surface.. Just take your time, it'll roll out. If you're having problems, let the dough rest for a few minutes. Once you get it rolled out to about 1/4 of an inch, start topping it like a pizza. You can add a little sauce if you want, but it really isn't necessary. Just layer the ingredients all over the dough. Then, you want to roll it up. It's tough, but do your best...it doesn't matter if it's not perfect. You just want to start with one of the long sides, and roll it as tight as you can. Once you are done, cover it with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray, and then let it sit for about one hour. Then brush on some olive oil on the top.
Bake on 425 for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned on the top. I put it on my pizza stone on my plastic oven liner, and moved it in and out of the oven on a pizza peel. But you could easily put it on a cookie sheet, but I would line it with parchment paper. It'll make it easier to move it when you get it out of the oven so that you can cut it without scratching your pan!
To eat it, just slice it like a jelly roll cake or a loaf of bread. Serving it with a little pizza sauce is fantastic. Enjoy!

Substitutes - you can really do whatever filling you want! But always use a sticky cheese so that it sets up right and doesn't fall apart.
