Instructions

Spicy Pizza Sauce (makes 2 1/2 cups) – Step one

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté until they are soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and wine; cook for an additional minute.

Step two

Stir in tomato paste, diced tomatoes, red pepper, salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the vinegar; cool.

Step three

Freeze leftover pizza sauce for a future Pizza Stromboli or regular pizza.

Pizza Stromboli (1 large) – Step one

Preheat oven to 375° F. Remove crescent roll sheet from tube and place on baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Roll dough into a 10 X 14” rectangle.

Step two

Spread ½ of cheese down the center third of the dough. Top with Spicy Pizza Sauce and chopped vegetables. Top with remaining cheese.

Step three

Cut 1” crosswise strips down the sides of the rectangle. Starting from one end, bring one of the dough strips across the filling diagonally. Repeat on the other side, crisscrossing the dough strips. Continue down the rest of the braid, alternating strips to form the loaf.

Step four

In a small bowl combine egg and salt to make a wash. Brush on top of Stromboli loaf. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Step five

Option: Pepperoni or crumbled cooked sausage could be added when placing the vegetables.
