- Spread tomato sauce on the dough, leaving a border. Add caramelized onions, spinach, and basil.
- Roll the dough into a log, tucking in the filling, then cut into 12 slices and place in a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast.
- Bake for 34-38 minutes until browned and cooked through. Slice the buns and serve with warm tomato sauce for dipping.
