Spinach Cheese Stromboli Recipes

SPINACH & CHEESE STROMBOLI

Steps:

• 1. place pizza dough on a floured surface and cover with dish towel until thawed and rises.
• 2. Place oil in sauté pan and lightly cook garlic. Add spinach and sauté with garlic and oil. Add salt and pepper. Salt will get water out of spinach. Remove when most juice is cooked out and let cool.
• 3. Preheat Oven to 400. In large bowl mix together ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Then add spinach mixture. Mix well.
• 4. Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface. Make a rectangle as best you can. Put filling near end and slowly roll tucking in sides. Place in a greased pan or foil for easy clean up.
• 5. After rolling the Stromboli, brush with olive oil. Add any seasoning you would like. You can also add sesame seeds. I sprinkled garlic powder, oregano and some Parmesan cheese. Make slits with knife to allow steam to escape during cooking.
• 6. Finally, place in 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes until brown. Let cool then slice and serve with warm marinara sauce. Bon appetite!
