Prosciutto Mozzarella Pinwheels
I usually make this in one big log because it is so impressive when it comes out of the oven and you cut it into slices, but if the kids are helping put this together, why not make it as four individual rolls? That way everyone can stuff and roll his or her own selections. Let an adult cut the hot rolls, because the yummy molten cheese retains a lot of heat.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F and position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12- to 14-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella over the dough. Arrange the prosciutto over the cheese in a single layer. Sprinkle with the chopped spinach, then top with the remaining cheese.
Step 3
Roll the dough into a thin cylinder, gently tucking in the ends. Brush the entire roll with the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. Place the dough, seam side down, on the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Step 4
Cool the roll for 3 or 4 minutes, then use a serrated knife to cut it into 3/4-inch-wide slices.
