I had my first stuffed pizza when I attended college near Chicago. I was amazed to see pizza well over an inch thick, with topping on the inside! When I served this version to my family, there are no leftovers. -Nancy Gilmour of Sumner, Iowa

PIZZA CRUST STUFFED SPINACH AND SAUSAGE ROLL

Pizza Crust Stuffed Spinach and Sausage Roll image

Refrigerated pizza crusts makes this recipe easier, but you can also make this using your own pizza crust in place of the refrigerated. To save some time you can prepare the sausage/spinach filling up to a day in advance and refrigerate. When I made these I didn't shape the stuffed rolls into rings, I just left them rolled up straight and sealed the ends, that worked fine, but you can shape them into rings if desired.

Use a variety of cheeses for the filling. This will give the pizza a more complex flavor.
