1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Cook the bacon in a large sauté pan, over medium-high heat, until done and crispy. Remove bacon from skillet, break bacon into pieces and set-aside on paper towels. Reserving the drippings.
3. In the same pan, sauté the onions over medium heat in one tablespoon of the bacon drippings until they are golden brown; set aside.
4. Turn off the heat and add the spinach to the warm onions, stirring constantly. Let the spinach cook until wilted then set aside, squeeze between paper towels to dry slightly, and reserve.
5. Remove the dough from its package and lay flat onto a long sheet of plastic wrap.
6. Layer the bacon and cheese onto the dough, spreading evenly and leaving about 1/4 inch of space from the edge. Follow the same procedure with the spinach mixture as well.
7. Grab the edge of the plastic wrap and pull it gently straight up. This will cause the dough to start to roll onto itself. Continue this procedure until the entire dough is rolled into a log shape.
8. Place dough roll onto a parchment paper lined sheet pan, cut slits across the top layer of the dough every two or three inches to allow steam to vent, and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown or until the internal temperature reaches 200°F.
9. Allow the roll to cool slightly.
10. Slice into one-inch-thick pieces and serve on a platter.
