Once these pies are baked, they can be frozen in airtight freezer bags for an easy dinner at a later date.
Set up a mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. If you do not have a mixer, set up a food processor.
Add warm water, brown sugar substitute, and yeast to the mixing bowl or food processor bowl and let the yeast bloom for 5 minutes. The yeast should begin to get frothy.
Add the flour and 1 tsp kosher salt and mix on low until flour is incorporated.
If using a mixer with the dough hook attachment, turn the speed up to medium and knead the dough for 5 minutes.
If using a food processor, turn the dough onto a clean, floured board or countertop and knead by hand for 5-7 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add one Tbsp. of flour at a time until it forms a smooth dough.
Add kneaded dough to a large bowl coated with cooking spray, cover and put in a warm place for one hour to rise.
While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until softened and all of the liquid from them is evaporated.
In a medium bowl, combine mushrooms, spinach, garlic, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, pepper and mozzarella cheese. Set aside.
Divide the dough into eight balls and let rest, covered with plastic wrap, for about 15 minutes.
Roll out each dough round to 1/4 inch thickness. Add 1/8 of filling (about 1/2 cup) to each round. Fold over to form a hand pie and press the edges to seal. Repeat this process for the remaining 8 dough rounds and place on the baking sheet.
Brush each pie with egg wash and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
