DOUGH-In small glass measure, combine the water, yeast and sugar; mix well.
Let sit 4 minutes or until foamy. Add eggs and oil to yeast mixture; with

storage bag; add dough. Seal bag; place in bowl. Let dough rise in warm
place 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. FILLING-Squeeze spinach dry. In
medium bowl, combine spinach, ricotta, 1/2 c Asiago cheese, Parmesan,
basil, pepper and half the beaten egg; mix well. With oil, generously
grease 13″ pizza pan. Punch down dough. Set aside 1/2 c dough. On floured
surface, roll remaining dough to a 14″ round. Drape over rolling pin and
unroll onto pan (dough will drape over edges of pan.) Sprinkle salami over
dough, leaving 2″ from edges uncovered. Evenly spread ricotta mixture over
salami; sprinkle with remaining Asiago. Sprinkle with mozzarella and
tomatoes. Divide reserved dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each to a 10″
rope; lay ropes across filling and crimp to make a lattice. Fold dough up
onto filling and crimp to make a raised edge similar to pie edge. Side of
torta should be about 2″ high. (Torta will look like a basket.) Brush
