Stromboli




This is what I do for home-made pizza & it's one of my favorite dinners!




Stromboli

1 loaf bread dough (I always buy the Rhodes--they come in packs of 3 or 5)

8 slices deli ham, thinly sliced (I only do 4 pieces & I like to use the Budding ham--it's cheap too!)

20 slices pepperoni (I only do 10 & I use the turkey pepperoni)

8 slices provolone cheese (I only do 4 & I like Sargento the best)

2 T. parmesan cheese (I never measure it, I just shake some on)

1 C. shredded mozzarella cheese (I just sprinkle some on--probably 1/4 C.)

1 tsp. garlic powder (I just sprinkle some on)

1 tsp. dried oregano (I just sprinkle some on)

1/4 tsp. dried parsley flakes (I just sprinkle some on)

1/4 tsp. pepper (I just sprinkle some on)

1 egg, beaten



Place dough on greased cookie sheet & cover with greased plastic wrap. Let dough rise until doubled. (I just take mine straight from the freezer in the morning & they're ready to go at about 3 pm.) Roll loaf into a 15x12 inch rectangle (I always just press it out on a greased jelly roll pan & just do it the dimensions of the pan). Arrange meats & cheeses down the middle of the rectangle dough. Sprinkle with spices. Fold dough around meat & cheeses & seal pressing dough together on seams & ends. Brush with beaten egg & then bake at 375 degrees for approximately 25-30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice loaf on a diagonal. Serve with pizza sauce for dipping.





I like to make 5 of these at a time & bake what we need & then freeze the rest. Wrap loaf with plastic wrap & then foil. Label & freeze. When I'm ready to cook them, I just take them straight out of the freezer and brush with a beaten egg & bake at 375 degrees for approximately 35-45 minutes. Or you can thaw the loaves and bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes.




*You can do whatever kind of meats/cheeses you want. My sister & I made one that was ham & cheddar cheese for her kiddos & they liked it. This is also a great alternative to a pizza because different family members can have as much or as little pizza sauce as they like (I like tons more pizza sauce than Danny, so this works great)!
