Line the bottom of the dough with 1 cup of fresh spinach followed by salami, pepperoni, half of the Mozzarella, ham, olives, onions, peppers, remaining Mozzarella and remaining spinach. Then sprinkle half of the Italian seasoning, the minced garlic and the parmesan cheese on top of the spinach. Lightly beat the 4 eggs and pour over the spinach.

Brush the top with a little egg (whatever is left in the bowl) and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning, garlic powder and a little Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
