1 small onion, finely chopped
¹⁄₂ green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (15 ounce) can fire-roasted tomatoes, crushed
salt and pepper
1 (10 ounce) can pillsbury pizza dough, in refrigerated section
24 slices pepperoni
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
unflavored cooking spray

directions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a small saucepot over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of EVOO, add the onions, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes, stirring every now and then until soft, about 4 minutes.
Add the fire-roasted tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a bubble and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Once the sauce is going, unroll the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface and stretch to make an even rectangle.
In an even layer, on half of the dough, place the pepperoni down leaving a 1-inch border and sprinkle with about 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
Fold the other half of the dough over and press the edges gently down seal.
With your hands, gently pat down the folded dough.
Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut 8 to 10 thin strips, about 1-inch thick.
Holding each end of the strip, twist it a few times and place on a baking sheet.
Spray the entire tray, including the twists, with cooking spray and place in the oven until golden brown in color, about 10-15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve with the dipping sauce.
Enjoy! ;).
