Abruzzi Bread is named after a region in south-central Italy. It is inspired by the popular calzone, but instead of one filling, it has multiple, making it more flavorful. The pepperoni and sausage give this dish a savory taste, while the spinach adds a healthy element. You can enjoy it as is or add marinara sauce to bring out the Italian flavors. Abruzzi Bread is a great way to impress your guests by serving a homemade Italian favorite. It’s filling, delicious, and sure to be a crowd-pleaser on any occasion.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2.	Roll out your pizza dough onto a floured surface. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder.
3.	Generously lay slices of provolone, pepperoni, and sausage, then sprinkle spinach on top.
4.	Leave the bottom part of your dough untouched. Then, take the top part and fold it over to meet the lower part, creating a flap.
5.	Crimp the edges, lightly brush the top with oil, then sprinkle garlic powder over it again.
6.	Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Slice and serve with marinara sauce to dip (optional).
