Stroboli is a fun party food that is quick to prepare and can feed a crowd. It's basically a rolled up pizza which you can fill with whatever you like. I chose sausage, spinach and ricotta, but you can substitute veggies, italian meats such as cappicola or prosuitto, or chicken. I include ricotta because it's protein packed and adds a creamy texture while cutting down on the amount of mozzerella used. You serve it sliced with pizza sauce or hot sauce on the side.
Full recipe after the jump!
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1lb whole wheat pizza dough, thawed
whole wheat flour to roll out the dough

1/2lb spicy italian chicken sausage, casing removed, cooked and crumbled
2 cups spinach, washed and chopped
1 egg, lightly beaten

1. Roll out dough into a large rectangle, approximately 16" x 14"

4. Spread a thin layer of crumbled sausage over ricotta
5. Sprinkle 1 cup of sauce over the sausage evenly
6. Top with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese
7. Starting at one end, slowly and tightly roll the dough, keeping the toppings in tact, ending with the margin of untopped dough.
