SPINACH CHEESE SWIRLS
My family loves dividing up this super-easy sandwich that's brimming with great spinach and onion flavor. Refrigerated pizza dough shaves minutes off prep time and creates a golden brown crust. The cheesy slices taste terrific warm or cold, so they're great for lunches, picnics or trips. -Mary Nichols Denver, New Hampshire

- To make the swirls ahead of time, prepare the dough and filling according to the recipe. Then, shape the dough into a log, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to bake, slice the log into 1-inch pieces and place them on a baking sheet. Bake according to the recipe instructions.
- If you don't have a bread machine, you can make the dough by hand. Simply whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Then, add the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the filling by hand. Simply whisk together the cream cheese, sour cream, and seasonings in a medium bowl. Then, fold in the chopped bacon and walnuts.
- These spinach cheese swirls are best served warm. However, you can also store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
