Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup button mushrooms
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup artichoke hearts
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 cup, shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup, grated parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large, beaten egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and red bell pepper and sauté them for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are browned and the peppers are tender.
Add the minced garlic and spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes or until the spinach wilts.
Stir in the artichoke hearts, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through. Remove the mixture from the heat.
In a bowl, combine the mozzarella, parmesan, ricotta cheeses, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and then stir in the sautéed vegetable mixture.
Unroll the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Stretch it out slightly to form a large rectangle.
Place the vegetable and cheese mixture along one edge of the dough rectangle, leaving a small border of dough at the edge.
Carefully roll the dough over the filling, starting from the edge where the filling is, forming a log shape. Pinch the edges to seal the ends tightly.
Place the rolled dough seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the top of the roll with the beaten egg and drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over it.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing into portions and serving.
