Stromboli

I love this recipe!  I don't make it often, but my kids really like it.  It's from my very good friend Jill.  You can check out her recipe blog at http://jbeanrecipes.blogspot.com/.


Stromboli:

1 batch of bread stick dough (see below) - or you can cheat and use a loaf of frozen bread dough
2 egg yolks (keep the whites)
2 Tbs. oil
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. parsley
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. black pepper
shredded mozzarella cheese or pizza blend
1 Tbs. grated Parmesan (optional)
desired toppings (pepperoni, Canadian bacon, olives, etc.)

Roll out dough into 12 x 15" rectangle.  Mix egg yolks, oil, oregano, parley, garlic powder, and pepper in a small bowl.  Spread the mixture over top of the dough. Add cheese, toppings, and grated Parmesan.  Roll up and pinch the seams together well.  Place seam-side down on a greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees 30-40 minutes. Remove from oven and baste with the egg whites (optional).

Bread stick Dough:
1 1/2 c. hot water

1 Tbs. yeast

2 Tbs. sugar

1 tsp. salt

3 1/2 c. flour

Dough Instructions: Add water to mixer and sprinkle yeast and sugar over top.  Add in the salt and 2 cups of the flour.  Mix until smooth.  Add remainder 1 1/2 c. flour.  Knead 5-10 minutes.

Roll out the dough into a 12x15" triangle and rub the seasoned egg mixture evenly across it.

Add desired toppings.  Toppings that are not wet (don't use pineapple) work best.  

Roll it up tight.

       

After cooking, baste with egg whites (optional)
