Rudders primary effect is yaw control. The secondary effect of yaw is roll. Trying to use this effect to "pick up the wing" is IMHO just silly, not the least because you would have to remained stalled for this effect to kick in and I can think of no situation where you would not want to recover immediately in the event of an unintentional stall.

Bottom line wheel forward to reduce AOA ( NOTE: we are taking Ab inito training here, not upsets in swept wing fighters )
When you are doing this use the rudder as appropriate to stop any yaw and when the aircraft is flying again use co-ordinated ailerons and rudder to level the wings.

BTW I do the falling leaf exercise with every PPL student. Do a power off stall and when the aircraft stalls keep full back stick on. The aircraft will try to yaw and roll into the spin entry but prompt use of the rudder to counter the yaw will stop the aircraft from departing controlled flight. It is IMO an excellent demonstration of the ability for you to use all the available controls to make the aircraft do what you want.
