Simple Stromboli Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 and spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray.
• On a lightly floured surface, press pizza dough into a 9x12 rectangle.
• Top with mozzarella, leaving a 1/2 to 1 inch border.
• Top with proscuitto, pepperoni and diced roasted red peppers.
• Roll up jelly-roll style, seal the edges and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
• Bake at 375 for about 25 minutes or until golden.
• Serve with a side of warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no pink shows; drain. Mix in the ham, bell pepper, onions, pizza sauce and mushrooms.
• Lay pizza dough flat on cookie sheet. Distribute pepperoni slices over dough. Place a heaping pile of the sauce mixture on one side of dough (some may be left over). Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Fold dough over and pinch ends and sides together. Poke holes in the top and brush melted butter on it.
• Cook in a preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Slice into individual sections to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir sausage until crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
• Pat out bread dough on an ungreased baking sheet, to 3/4-inch thickness. Lay salami, ham, and American cheese slices in center of dough. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, salt, pepper, and cooked sausage. Wrap dough to cover ingredients, pinching and sealing edges to prevent leakage; brush top with egg white.
• Bake in preheated oven until dough is baked and lightly browned, 17 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• For the pizza dough: Add the yeast, 1 cup warm water and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook. Let the mixture sit to allow the yeast to activate. The mixture should start foaming and forming small bubbles on the surface, 10 minutes. Gradually add the flour with the mixer on low speed. Add the olive oil and salt. Continue to mix on low and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Increase the speed as the flour becomes incorporated, and knead on medium speed, 7 to 8 minutes. The dough is done when it comes together as a single mass.
• Remove the dough from the mixer and knead 4 to 5 times on a lightly-floured surface so the dough is smooth and consistent. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic and allow to sit until the dough rises and doubles in volume, 1 hour.
• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Divide the dough in half and, working with one piece at a time, stretch the dough into a 10-by-13-inch rectangle. Arrange the dough rectangle so the 13-inch-long side is closest to you. Brush the surface with half of the melted butter, then spread the minced garlic out evenly over the top, remembering to split the filling ingredient quantities evenly across both stromboli. Leave a 1-inch border around the far and side borders.
• Sprinkle the dough with the Parmesan, then layer with the salami slices. Top the salami with a layer of deli ham and then a layer of bresaola. Shingle the cheese slices over the top and finish with fresh basil and some ground black pepper. With the covered edge closest to you, roll the dough up into a log, gently sealing the ends of the roll as you go. When you get to the end that has no filling on it, gently press to seal, then place the roll seam-side down on a nonstick sheet tray. Repeat the process with second piece of dough. Brush the tops of the dough with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake in the center of the oven until golden brown and puffy, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Allow the stromboli to cool 5 minutes before slicing it into thick slices with a serrated knife. Serve with the Marinara Sauce on the side or some mustard.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until the garlic is almost brown, another 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer, 20 minutes.
• Add the basil and oregano, and continue to simmer to thoroughly marry the flavors, 20 minutes longer. Puree the mixture with a stick blender, food mill or food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Yield: Makes 1 quart.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400* degrees.
• Line cookie sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Brown hamburger in medium skillet until thoroughly cooked. Drain and set aside.
• Unroll dough - starting at center, press out dough with hands or rolling pin to form an 12x8 inch rectangle.
• Spread sauce to with in 2" of the long side and 1/2" of the short side.
• Place hamburger down center in a 3" line and within 1/2' of the short side. Top with cheese and additional toppings, if using.
• Fold long sides of dough over the filling and press edges to seal.
• Bake at 400* for 15 - 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven (with pizza stone inside ) to 450 degrees F. (If do not have pizza stone, can use a baking sheet). Sprinkle a little flour on your work surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a 10 by 14-inch rectangle. Cover the rectangle with layers of your desired toppings, leaving a 1-inch border around the sides and at the top. Mix the three cheeses and the herbs together in a small bowl and sprinkle on top of the toppings.
• Starting at the end closest to you, roll the stromboli into a log. Seal the dough by pinching firmly with fingertips on sides and ends.
• Sprinkle a little cornmeal on a pizza paddle. Put the stromboli on the paddle. Make sure the seam is on the bottom. Use a pastry brush to brush the top and sides of the stromboli with a little olive oil. Carefully place the stromboli on preheated pizza stone. Turn down oven temperature to 400 degrees F. and bake for 35 minutes. Carefully remove from oven and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Slice with a serrated knife.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the oil, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; roll into a 14x12-in. rectangle. , Transfer to a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Spoon pizza sauce to within 1/2 in. of edges. Top with the sausage, mushrooms, pepperoni and cheese. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal and tuck ends under. , Bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F.
• Unroll pizza crust on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Pat out dough to 15x10-inch rectangle; sprinkle with Parmesan. Layer remaining ingredients lengthwise down center of dough.
• Fold dough in half over filling; pinch edges together tightly to seal. Cut small slits in top of dough to vent.
• Bake 15 to 18 min. or until golden brown. Cool slightly before cutting to serve.

Steps:

• Tip the flour into a large bowl, then stir in the yeast and 1 tsp salt. Pour in 250ml warm water and the olive oil, and bring together with a wooden spoon to make a soft dough. Tip onto a surface and knead for 10 mins until smooth. Put the dough back in the bowl, cover with a tea towel and set aside for 40 mins or until doubled in size.
• Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle roughly 35 x 20cm. Layer over the salami (leaving a bit of a border), then scatter over the mozzarella and finally the basil leaves. Tuck the shorter edges in and roll the whole thing up like a swiss roll. Will keep frozen, tightly wrapped in foil, for up to one month. Can either be defrosted and baked, or baked from frozen (see step 3).
• Leave the loaf to rest for 20 mins on a baking tray. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 200C/180C/gas 6. Brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 40 mins until puffed up and golden. If cooking from frozen, bake for 1 hr. Leave to cool for 10 mins before slicing and serving with salad.
