How to Make Abruzzi Bread
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly grease a large baking sheet or jelly roll pan with cooking spray.
- Carefully unroll the pizza crust onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not stretch it.
- Drizzle the crust with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Distribute half of the shredded mozzarella cheese (4 ounces) over one half of the crust.
- Layer half of the pepperoni (1/4 cup) over the cheese, followed by half of the cooked sausage (1/4 cup) and half of the chopped spinach (1/2 cup).
- Repeat layers with the remaining cheese, pepperoni, sausage, and spinach.
- Fold the unlayered half of the crust over the filling, pressing firmly along the edges to seal completely.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
