Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until a dough forms and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  3. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Toss in 2 cups of fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of caramelized onions and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
  7. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer to a floured surface. Roll into a rectangle shape.
  8. Spread about 1/2 cup of marinara sauce on the dough, leaving a small border. Distribute the filling across the sauce, roll tightly, and seal edges.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
  10. Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes in a warm place.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Watch closely to achieve a crisp exterior.
  12. After baking, let the rolls cool for 5-10 minutes before serving warm, with extra marinara sauce if desired.
