PROSCIUTTO MOZZARELLA PINWHEELS - Giada De Laurentiis

Category: Roll Ups / Pinwheels

Flour, for dusting
1 lb purchased pizza dough
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
7 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced
1 cup coarsely chopped baby spinach (about 1 1/2 oz)
1 tbsp olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 425 and position a rack in the lower 1/3 of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12 to 14-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella over the dough. Arrange the prosciutto over the cheese in a single layer. Sprinkle with the chopped spinach, then top with the remaining cheese.

Roll the dough into a thin cylinder, gently tucking in the ends. Brush the entire roll with the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. Place the dough, seam-side down, on the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes until the top is golden brown. Cool the roll for 3 for 4 minutes, then use a serrated knife to cut it into 3/4-inch slices.
