A must see!

Sound of Freedom, based on the incredible true story, shines a light on even the darkest of places. After rescuing a young boy from ruthless child traffickers, a federal agent learns the boy’s sister is still captive and decides to embark on a dangerous mission to save her. With time running out, he quits his job and journeys deep into the Colombian jungle, putting his life on the line to free her from a fate worse than death.

The Rockcrock is a must have. Use it on the stove, in the oven, microwave, store it in the fridge or freezer and it is dishwasher safe! I use mine many times a week.

Check out this AMAZING recipe for Pizza Dip with Rolls
Ingredients
◦ 3 ounces thinly sliced pepperoni, quartered
◦ 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
◦ 3 cloves garlic, minced
◦ 1 pound pizza dough
◦ 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into 8 pieces and softened
◦ ¾ cup pizza sauce
◦ 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded (1 cup)
◦ 2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil

Recipe
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400° F.

Cook pepperoni in 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer pepperoni to paper towel-lined plate; set aside. Off heat, add oil and garlic to fat left in skillet and let sit until fragrant, about 1 minute; transfer to medium bowl.

Place dough on lightly floured counter, pat into rough 8-inch square, and cut into 32 pieces (½ ounce each). Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, roll into tight ball, then coat with garlic oil. Evenly space 18 balls around edge of skillet, keeping center of skillet clear. Place remaining 14 balls on top, staggering them between seams of balls underneath. Cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and let sit until slightly puffed, about 20 minutes.

Remove plastic. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until balls are just beginning to brown, about 20 minutes, rotating skillet halfway through baking. Meanwhile, whisk cream cheese and pizza sauce together in large bowl until thoroughly combined and smooth. Stir in mozzarella and three-quarters of crisped pepperoni.

Spoon cheese mixture into center of skillet, return to oven, and bake until dip is heated through and rolls are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with basil and remaining crisped pepperoni. Serve.
Serves 8 to 10
