INGREDIENTS

  • 1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar or part-skim mozzarella

DIRECTIONS

Thaw bread dough according to package directions; let rise until doubled. Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in spinach.

Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Place seam side down on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; tuck ends under.
