Calories

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 cup flour whole wheat or white whole wheat
  • 1 cup flour all purpose
  • 2 ¼ Teaspoon yeast active dry
  • 1 ½ Teaspoon sugar
  • ¾ Teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup water warmed
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ cup mozzarella cheese

Sauce

  • ¼ cup spinach or kale
  • ½ medium bell pepper yellow, red or orange
  • ¼ cup mushrooms sliced into pieces
  • ½ medium onion diced
  • 1 medium carrots diced
  • 1 medium zucchini diced
  • 1 cup spaghetti or marinara sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl
  • Whisk together the warm water and the oil and add to the dry ingredients. Mix until well blended,
  • about 1 minute.
  • Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
  • Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky.
  • Knead on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4
  • minutes.
  • Place the dough in a large, lightly greased bowl, and drape a moist kitchen towel over the bowl, but do not wrap the dough.
  • Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes in a slightly warmed oven. The dough will almost double in size.
  • Chop the vegetables (you will need to have a total of 2 cups).
  • Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes or until slightly tender.
  • Blend in a high-powered blender with the marinara sauce (or keep the veggies whole **).
  • Once the dough has risen, remove it from the bowl and place on a lightly floured work surface.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a ½ inch thick rectangle, about 12 by 10 inches.
  • Spread the blended sauce (or sauce and cut up veggies) over the dough, leaving a ½ inch border
  • around the edges. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  • Begin rolling the dough until you have one large roll (looks like a Stromboli).
  • Slice into 8-12 slices and place each slice into a grease muffin pan.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the pinwheels are golden brown and cooked through in the middle.
