Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F (230° C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet.
Add onions and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until softened. Stir frequently. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove from heat and set aside in a bowl to cool off.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the minced garlic and stir fry for about one minute.
Add the spinach and 1-2 tablespoon of water.
Cover and increase heat to medium-high for about 1 minute.
Remove cover, decrease the heat to medium and cook until spinach has wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir frequently.
Remove from heat.
Squeeze excess moisture and add to onions.
Roughly "cut-up" the vegetables with scissors.
Add the cheese, and mix together.
Set aside to cool off slightly.
Divide pizza dough in thirds.
Place dough on a floured surface and stretch out dough with finger tips which have been dipped in olive oil to form a large rectangle, approximately 6 x 12 inches and ¼ inch thick. Allow to rest for about 10-15 minutes.
Spread about a third of the mixture and drizzle olive oil over the top.
Roll the dough on the long side into a tight log. Pinch the seam together.
Brush the top of the log with about half a teaspoon of olive oil followed by a sprinkle of dried oregano.
Pinch the ends together before cutting each 1-inch roll.
Place each roll on the parchment paper and gently press down on the top.
Continue in this manner until all of your pizza dough rolls are on your parchment paper.
Allow the rolls to rest for about 15- 20 minutes before baking them.
Bake in a 450°F (230° C) preheated oven for about 10 - 12 minutes.
Can be served hot or at room temperature.
Can also be frozen.
