Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and grease a #muffin tin{} very well, including around the top of each cup since the cheese may spill out a little.

Use your hands to stretch the @pizza dough{13-16%ounces}(at room temperature) into an 11x16-inch rectangle on a piece of #parchment paper{}. (This helps prevent the dough from sticking to the counter. If it's hard to stretch, let it rest for ~{5%minutes} and try again. Sometimes the gluten needs to rest.)

Spread @pizza sauce{3/4%cup} over the dough to cover, then sprinkle on the @baby spinach{1%cup}(roughly chopped), @shredded mozzarella cheese{2%cups}, and @grated Parmesan cheese{1/4%cup}. Starting on one long side, roll the dough up carefully and fairly tightly to enclose the toppings. (It might be a little messy, but it's okay! Use the parchment paper to help you roll.)

> You can use minced broccoli instead of spinach, or omit the greens entirely.

Use a #serrated knife{} to cut into 12 even slices. I start in the center, then make a cut in the center of each piece, and then finish slicing to get the most even results.

Place each slice into a prepared #muffin cup{} and bake for ~{22-26%minutes} until the dough is baked through, the cheese is melted, and the tops are golden.

Let cool for ~{3-5%minutes} in the pan to allow the cheese to firm up slightly, then transfer to a #wire rack{} or a plate to serve. (You may need to use a knife around the edges of the pan if the cheese spilled over.)

> Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or in a zip-top freezer bag with as much air removed as possible in the freezer for up to 3 months. To serve from frozen, place on a plate and microwave for 30-60 seconds or until warm.
