 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3      tbsp          olice oil
    2      10 oz pkg     frozen chopped spinach -- thawed/sqeeze dry
    3      oz            Canadian bacon -- diced
    1 1/4  tsp           salt
    3      c             all-purpose flour
    1      env           quick-rise yeast
    1      c             water
    1 1/2  c             shredded Fontina Cheese
 
 Heat 2 tablespoons oil in skillet.  Add spinach, bacon and 1/4 tsp salt;
 saute until softened, 5 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Combine 1 cup
 flour, yeast and remaining salt in bowl.  Heat water and remaining oil
 in saucepan until very warm (125-130 degrees).  Gradually beat water
 mixture into flour mixture.  Beat in 1 1/2 cups flour with wooden spoon,
 1/2 cup at a time, to make soft dough.   Knead dough on floured surface
 until smooth and elastic, 10 minutes, working in remaining flour as
 needed to prevent sticking.  Shape into ball.  Cover; let rest 10
 minutes.
 
 Roll dough out on floured surface into 15x11-inch rectangle.  Fit in
 greased 15x11x1- inch jelly-roll pan, gently pushing dough up into
 corners.  Wtih finger, make indentations all over surface of dough,
 pressing almost to bottom of pan.  Scatter spinach over top.   Sprinkle
 with cheese.  Cover with plastic.  Let rise in warm place until almost
 doubled in bulk, 30 minutes.
 
 Bake in 400 oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned.  Cut into
 12 pieces.  Serve warm.
