Ingredients

  • pound baby spinach leaves 
  • 13.2 oz bread dough italian
  • oz feta crumbled
  • tablespoons olive oil 
  • large onion chopped
  • 0.3 teaspoon pepper 

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • baking paper
  • oven
  • aluminum foil

Directions

  1. Put 2 Tbsp. oil, onion and pepper in a large skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and golden, about 6 minutes.
  2. Add about half of spinach leaves and cook, tossing and adding more spinach by handfuls, until all spinach is wilted. Stir in feta.
  3. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Unroll bread dough on a work surface and cut into 4 equal pieces; place on baking sheet. Spoon equal portions of spinach mixture onto center of each piece of dough. Fold dough over filling to make triangles; crimp edges to seal pies. Slice a hole in top of each pie to let hot air escape while cooking; brush top lightly with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil.
  4. Bake spinach pies until golden on top and bottom, 25 to 30 minutes.
  5. Let cool slightly before serving.
