Bread - Prosciutto Mozzarella Pinwheels

By Pascento96

Giada De Laurentiis - I usually make this in one big log because it is so impressive when it comes out of the oven and you cut it into slices, but if the kids are helping put this together, why not make it as 4 individual rolls? That way everyone can stuff and roll their own selections. Let an adult cut the hot rolls, as the yummy molten cheese retains a lot of heat.

Ingredients

• Flour, for dusting
• 1 pound purchased pizza dough
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 7 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
• 1 cup coarsely chopped baby spinach (about 1 1/2 ounces)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 F 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.
