SERVES 4

INGREDIENTS :

1 cup shredded
6 sun-dried tomato halves 
4 ounce. part-skim mozzarella cheese 
8 fresh basil leaves 
1 large ripe tomato 
1 tablespoon cornmeal 
3 cups lightly packed baby spinach leaves

pin, stretch the dough into a 10 by 16 inch rectangle. Spray a baking sheet 
with cooking spray and transfer the dough.

each long side and a ½ inch border on the top and the bottom. Sprinkle the 
spinach and sun-dried tomatoes over the cheese. Arrange the tomato slices

it along each side of the dough. Fold the two short sides of the dough over 
the filling then roll the whole thing up lengthwise like a jelly roll. Press with 
your fingers to seal the top and bottom firmly. Position the roll so it is seam 
side down .
