Spinach Artichoke Stromboli!!

Hey everyone!! :)

Sorry for the lack of posting lately, this wedding is eating up all of my free time! Speaking of eating up, I made the easiest, cheapest, most delicious meal tonight on my brand new pizza stone <3 Here is my recipe!! Sorry there aren't any pictures, but it was gone too fast to get any!

Spinach Artichoke Stromboli

1 roll pre made pizza dough (or if you're prepared, homemade is always better)
1 small can tomato sauce
1 can artichokes, chopped
1 8 oz bag Italian Blend shredded cheese
1 10 oz package of frozen spinach, thawed and thoroughly pressed to remove excess water
Basil, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 375

1. Roll out pizza dough onto a greased cookie sheet (or pizza stone if you have one)
2. Allowing at least an one inch margin around the edges, spread the tomato sauce evenly on to the dough. You can use as much or as little as you like, but don't go crazy or you will get soggy Stromboli!
3. Spread out the artichokes, spinach (you wrung out all that extra water right!?), and top with cheese.
4. Sprinkle on some basil, oregano, salt, and pepper to your liking.
5.  Here's the fun part :) Fold in the dough around the edges about one inch or so over the toppings. Pinch the corners a bit to help seal the pizza
6. Carefully begin rolling up the rectangle as tightly as possible (like you would roll up a newspaper) without ripping your dough. Make sure the seam is on the bottom when you are done so it doesn't come undone.
7. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown
8. Cut into 2 inch slices and let everyone admire your chef skills :)


I hope that isn't too confusing without pictures! If you have any questions please ask!!
