Ingredients

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 package (16 oz) refrigerated pizza dough

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Spinach Dip Filling:

- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes.

- Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

- Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Roll Out the Pizza Dough:

- On a floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a large circle, about 12 inches in diameter.

Form the Bread Ring:

- Transfer the rolled-out dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, make cuts along the outer edge of the dough circle (about 2 inches apart) leaving a central circle for the filling.

Fill the Bread Ring:

- Spoon the cheesy spinach dip filling into the center of the dough, spreading evenly.

Fold Over the Dough:

- Gently fold each dough flap over the filling, alternating and overlapping them, forming a rustic braid pattern around the filling.

Brush and Bake:

- Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg to give it a golden color when baked.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
