1 lb. hot sausage, casings removed
1 lb. fresh spinach, stems removed, chopped or 1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed
1 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese
Pizza dough (recipe to follow)
1 tbsp. olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper

Cook sausage in large skillet until browned; drain fat. Add spinach. Cook until spinach wilts, 3 minutes. Cool slightly.

Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to a 10x12 inch rectangle. Transfer dough to an oiled baking sheet. Spoon sausage mixture evenly over half of the dough lengthwise, leaving a 3/4 inch border. Cover with shredded cheese. Fold dough over filling. Press and seal edges of dough with krimpkut sealer. (If no krimpkut, use fork.)

Brush top of dough with olive oil. Sprinkle with pepper to taste. Make several slits in top of dough with knife. Bake in lower third of preheated 400 degree oven until well browned, 15 to 20 minutes. 4-6 servings.

DOUGH:

1/2 pkg. dry yeast
3/4 c. warm (105 to 115 degree) water
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. olive oil
1 egg
2 to 2 1/2 c. flour

Dissolve yeast in water in medium bowl. Let stand in warm place until bubbly. Add sugar, salt, egg, and enough flour to make a smooth dough. Turn dough out on lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
