Spinach Pie is My Favorite Food

I'm making RI Italian-style spinach pies because I love them. In RI they call them pie but they look like calzones. Basically it is just spinach, olives, and garlic sauteed in olive oil rolled up and baked in a pizza-dough calzone.

I'd love to be able to make them as good as Jeanette's Bakery on Branch Ave in Providence. I am working on it! Here's a recipe I am using as a guide.

My version came out great! I used whole wheat and white bread flour and cornmeal combined and I used Fleishmann's instant yeast. The mounds of spinach were HUGE and the dough was thin just like the spinach pies from Jeanette's bakery.
