Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cook bacon until crisp; drain. Crumble and set aside.

Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 16 triangles. On ungresed large cookie sheet, arrange triangles with shortest sides toward center, overlapping in wreath shape and leaving 5" round circle open in center. Crescent dough points may overlap edge of cook sheet. Press overlapping dough to flatten and form a 4" circle in center.

Spread cream cheese spread on dough to within 1" of points. In small bowl, mix bacon, broccoli and bell pepper; spoon onto widest part of dough. Pull end points of triangles over broccoli mixture and tuck under dough to form ring. Brush dough with beaten egg; sprinkle with sesame seed.

Bake 25 - 30 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. With broad spatula, carefully loosen wreath from cookie sheet; slide onto serving platter. Garnish with rosemary. Serve warm. Store in refrigerator.
