"Ready, Set, Cook! "Hidden Valley Contest Entry" This recipe is a different and fun twist on your usual pizza recipe - as it is made with pizza ingredients but in a cinnamon roll style. The ranch dressing, yogurt and cream cheese "white sauce" is a delicious compliment to all the other pizza ingredients. I guess that my fondness for cinnamon rolls is what gave me the inspiration for this recipe. I also find it is a great recipe to have on hand for gatherings with family and friends! With individual servings, it is a guest friendly recipe!"

ingredients

59.16 ml olive oil
78.78 ml Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Light Dressing (dressing)
59.14 ml plain Greek yogurt
85.04 g low-fat cream cheese, softened
340.19 g ground mild Italian sausage
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
473.18 ml chopped fresh spinach leaves
1 fresh lemon
414.03 ml shredded mozzarella cheese
4.92 ml red pepper flakes
118.29 ml freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus
14.79 ml freshly grated parmesan cheese

directions

Pre-heat oven to 375ºF. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper cut to fit.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing, yogurt and cream cheese until well blended and smooth.
In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add sausage; cook until no longer pink, crumbling it with a fork into small pieces as it cooks. Using a large slotted spoon, transfer sausage from pan to a paper towel lined plate.
To the same pan used to cook sausage, over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, the onions and the garlic. Cook onion and garlic, stirring often, until onions are soft and golden in color. Remove pan from heat; set aside.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out and stretch dough to a 20 x 15-inch rectangle. Spread ranch dressing mixture over surface of dough up to 1/2-inch from the edges; arrange sausage and onions over the the spread surface. Sprinkle with the chopped spinach. Squeeze the juice from the lemon half over the spinach leaves; sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese, red pepper flakes and about 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese. Roll up the dough, starting from the long side of the rectangle, pinching the seam together to seal. Slice the rolled dough into 2" sections and place slices, cut sides down, about 2-inches apart on parchment lined baking sheets. Spread top of the slices slightly so that filling shows. Lightly brush tops and sides of slices with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, rotating the baking sheets between racks halfway through baking time, or until crusts are golden brown. Serve warm.

I am a free-lance artist who also designs, makes and sells Christmas ornaments at juried shows. I also love to create recipes - I have won some contests, Betty Crocker Cookie contests 2006 and 2007 being two of them. I was thrilled when Betty Crocker included my two recipes in their 2007 Favorite Cookies cookbook magazine. It was so exciting for me to see the photos and recipes in print! I was also a 1st place winner in the Nestles Very Best Baking contest in 2004. This coming April 2008 I will be in Dallas, Texas competing as one of the 100 finalists in the Pillsbury Bake-off. I am excited and a nervous wreck at the same time - but most of all, amazed that I was chosen. I love all cookbooks! I am always coming home with a new cookbook! My favorite are the Southern Living Christmas annual cookbooks - I have found many wonderful recipes in those books. I love Christmas! My home is very Christmasy all year around. Every year we have a big party for up to 50 people and I love the planning part - especially finding new recipes for the buffet. I don't like people that are always talking about how busy they are - we are ALL busy! I also love to read - from books to magazines! And I love animals - we have a cockapoo, Snickers, who is 10 years old and definitely spoiled, but just so darn cute!
