Stromboli with Spinach, Mushrooms, & Mozarella

We had this for dinner last night, and it was delicious. Now I can't stop thnking about other things we could wrap up in pizza dough!

1 uncooked pizza dough (I used Pillsbury, but you could make your own)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup coarsely chopped baby spinach
1 cup sliced mushrooms
Roasted peppers
Chopped red onion
Fresh basil
1 tblsp olive oil
Salt & Pepper
1 egg-for the egg wash

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Roll out the dough to about a 12-14 inch circle, about ¼ inch thick.

Sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella over the dough. Arrange the spinach over the cheese in a single layer. Sprinkle with the mushrooms, peppers, onions, basil, and then top with the remaining cheese.

Roll up the dough into a thin cylinder (as if you were making cinnamon rolls), gently tucking in the ends. Brush the entire roll with the olive oil & season with the salt & pepper. Brush lightly with an egg wash to help the browning process.

Place the dough, seam-side down, on the baking sheet & bake for 25 minutes until the top is golden brown. Cool the roll for 5 minutes, then use a serrated knife to cut it into 3/4-inch slices.

**I haven't tried it yet, but adding a little pesto sauce to the inside might even kick it up another notch!**
