List of Ingredients



• 1 package (1/4 oz.) active dry yeast
  
• 1/2 c. warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
  
• 3/4 c. warm milk (110 to 115 degrees)
  
• 2 T. olive or vegetable oil
  
• 1-1/2 t. salt
  
• 1 t. sugar
  
• 3 to 3-1/4 c. all-purpose flour
  
• 1 lb. bulk Italian sausage
  
• 1 package (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
  
• 1 carton (15 oz.) ricotta cheese
  
• 1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese
  
• 1 T. minced fresh parsley or 1/2 T. dried parsley
  
• 1/8 t. pepper
  
• 2 T. cornmeal
  
• Additional oil
  
• 1/2 t. garlic salt
  
• 1-1/2 c. pizza sauce, warmed
  






Instructions



1. In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, oil, salt, sugar and 2 c. flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
   
2. In a skillet, cook sausage until no longer pink; drain. Add spinach, cheeses, parsley and pepper; mix well. Punch dough down; divide into six pieces. On a floured surface, roll each piece into an 8-inch circle. Top each with 2/3 c. filling. Fold dough over filling; pinch to seal. Place on greased baking sheets that have been sprinkled with cornmeal. Brush tops lightly with oil; sprinkle with garlic salt.
   
3. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with pizza sauce.
