Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 425°F.

  2. Step 2

    Reserve 4 oz. cream cheese for later use. Mix remaining cream cheese with dressing and garlic powder in medium bowl until blended. Add spinach, peppers, shredded cheese and bacon; mix well.

  3. Step 3

    Unroll pizza dough onto lightly floured cutting board; press into 16x14-inch rectangle. Spread cream cheese mixture into 14x8-inch oval shape on center of dough. Fold dough over cream cheese mixture to completely enclose cream cheese mixture. Press edges of dough together to seal.

  4. Step 4

    Cover dough with large sheet of parchment, then baking sheet; flip over. Gently press top of dough to even out surface of football. Starting about 2 inches from both ends of football, make 2-inch-long cuts, 1 inch apart, along both long sides of dough. Gently twist dough strips. Beat egg and water until blended; brush onto dough.

  5. Step 5

    Bake 25 to 28 min. or until golden brown. Cool 5 min. Spoon reserved cream cheese into resealable plastic bag. Cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag; use to pipe cream cheese onto top of football for the laces.
