3. Spread pesto evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
4. Layer spinach, roasted peppers, mozzarella, and Parmesan evenly over the pesto.
5. Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log, pinching the seam to seal.
6. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Brush the top with beaten egg and drizzle with olive oil.
8. Sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano.
