Stromboli

I made all my kids happy with this Stromboli.  And they gladly ate the leftovers for lunch the next day.  The recipe is from my sister-in-law and it’s a good one.  It uses frozen bread dough, so no yeast or kneading required.  The filling can be tailored to suit your tastes.  I would have piled on the veggies, but the kids voted for pepperoni. 

Here’s what you’ll need:

*Note – the picture shows 2 loaves of dough, but the recipe below is for 1.  Double it if you want to end up with 2.

• 1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
• 2 egg yolks, save the whites
• 1 tsp. oregano
• 1 tsp. basil
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1 Tbs. Parmesan cheese
• 2 Tbs. oil
• Filling: pepperoni, sausage, ham, veggies etc.
• Mozzarella cheese – about 2 cups
• 1 jar pizza sauce

Spread the dough out on a buttered cookie sheet, like a pizza crust.  Mix the other ingredients (minus the fillings) and spread like butter on the crust.  Layer the fillings and top with cheese. 

Roll it up starting with the long edge so you end up with a long, log shape.  Place it seam side down on the cookie sheet.  Brush with the reserved egg white.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.  Slice and serve with the pizza sauce.

After it was rolled and baked.  See all that yummy cheese seeping out? Mmmm.
