Stromboli!

I read an article in Real Simple magazine about 20 or so things to do with pizza dough, and got the urge to make homemade stromboli. What it really turned into was something more like a calzone, but either way it was quite delicious. This was also a fairly easy recipe, where I cheated and made very little from scratch- but it was fun and yummy.



Ingredients:

2 packages of Pilsbury refrigerated pizza dough, thawed for 30 minutes
1 frozen square package of spinach
half a bag of thin cut carrots
2 stalks of green onions, chopped
1 8 oz bag of pizza shredded cheese
1/2 jar of tomato sauce

Cook spinach according to package directions on stove (add 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil, let simmer for 2-3 minutes), add in carrots and heat for a few more minutes. Mix in green onions after removing from heat.



Roll out pizza dough. Divide into 4 chunks and roll out further. Put 1-2 tablespoons of sauce (or desired amount) on each pizza dough chunk. Add 1-2 spoons of vegetable mixture followed by 1-2 fingerfuls of shredded cheese.



Be careful not to fill the dough up too much- leave room to roll! Roll up strombolis, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.



Bake at 400F for 25-30 minutes, or until browned. Makes 8 stromboli.





Enjoy!
