THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT!
Set your oven broiler to 350 degrees while you clean, dice, slice and sauté fresh vegetables in olive oil on the stove, just enough to soften. Spoon veggies into a roasting pan and broil (or throw them on an outdoor grill) for about 10 minutes. Once roasted (somewhat soft-somewhat crispy), mix the veggies in a small amount of olive oil or your favorite dressing. This keeps the mixture from falling out of the Pinwheel while eating. Add seasonings as desired. Then spread a layer of the mixture on each Tortillas. Roll up the stuffed tortillas into a tube. Cut into 4 to 6 Pinwheels. Place pieces on serving platter and garnish with a Spinach leaf or sprig of Mint. Recipe makes 16-20 Pinwheels (feeds 3-4 people)

A New Take on Delicious Bites!
Italian Sausage Pizza Stuffed In Thinly-Sliced Flatbread Pinwheels, for a Crowd!
THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT!
It is difficult to make just a “little” marinara sauce. So let the party begin! Mix a hearty slow-cooked Marinara sauce and pan-cooked Italian Sausage (cooked in Olive Oil and strained). Let it simmer for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Select the loaf of French Bread and slice long-ways into 4 thin oblong flatbreads. Cut these 4 long pieces into 3 sections to make 12 squares. Take a rolling pin and steamroll the bread, flattening out to a thin layer. Brush a mixture of Garlic and Butter (or Olive Oil) on top of each square. Then turn over the squares so the garlic butter side is facing down. Spread the Sausage Marinara sauce onto each square, like a flat bread pizza, leaving the edges clean. The sauce will spread to the edges while rolling. Add a layer of fresh Spinach and sprinkle with finely graded Mozzerella or Parmasean cheese.
Then, Roll the stuffed flatbread into a tight, long tube and and slice into 1-inch width Pinwheels. For 12 squares of flatbread, the recipe makes about 50-60 perfect bite-sized treats. Choose your favorite Dipping Sauce and enjoy a different take on pizza!
RECOMMENDED PARING: Nothing taste better with pizza than a nice cold craft beer or hearty red wine
