We have so much spinach in our garden. It was time to put it to use. It turns out I have no idea how to assess garden production. I picked a HUGE bag of Spinach and it barely looks like I picked any at all. Adam made the pizza/calzone dough. Since we were almost out of regular flour he used 1/3 cup of white and the rest whole wheat. It did not rise as much but Ellie still loved her pizza crust. With the dough I made a pepperoni pizza for Adam, Ellie made her own pizza, and 3 calzones.
After I spent my day in the garden, I came in with a big bag of Spinach, Ellie helped pick it and ate some on the way up to the house, and started to cook the stuffing. It was super easy. Maybe 10 minutes. Once you have the filling you roll out the dough, stuff it, and bake it for 20 minutes. They were beautiful and very filling. A salad as a side would have been nice but with the Spinach stuffing it was not essential. I served them with the pizza sauce on the side. If you have Spinach in your garden you could make the stuffing and freeze it and use it for making the calzones in the winter. Also, you could make the calzones and freeze them if you needed to have meals ready quickly.
