A Dinner the Family Will Beg For!
No need to go to the Italian restaurant cause you just made Stromboli at your house.
Enjoy! I know this recipe has made my family very happy, and I hope your loves it just as much!
Ingredients for dough:
- 3/4 cup 110 deg./hot water
- 1 tbsp Rapid Rise Yeast
- 2 tsp Sugar
- 3/4 tsp. Salt
- 2 cups Bread Flour
- 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Directions:
Warm water to 110 degrees in a measuring cup or small dish. (Hot tap water will be fine.)
Mix rapid rise yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Set, untouched, for five minutes. (At the conclusion of the 5 min. rest your yeast should be foamy. If your yeast doesn’t foam, discard and try again.)
Add bread flour, 1 tsp sugar, and salt to a mixing bowl. Mix well. Add activated yeast liquid and three tbsp olive oil. Mix until dough forms a ball. Remove from bowl and kneed dough 30 times on a lightly floured surface.
Coat a large mixing bowl with olive oil. Return dough to a ball and allow it to rest in a warm place inside the bowl for one hour.
After the dough has risen for one hour, punch down and allow it to rise again.
After the dough has risen for an additional hour, punch down and allow it to rise again.
Ingredients for Stromboli:
- Dough
- Mozzarella Cheese
- pepperoni
- Ham
- Provolone Cheese
- Parmesan Cheese
- Italian spices
- Bread flour
Directions:
Line large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Using a medium/heavy rolling pin, roll stromboli dough on lightly floured surface into a rectangle. Once it is out as large as you can make it, move dough to baking sheet.
Layer filling atop dough rotating meat and cheese layers.
(Tip: I like to begin with my Pepperoni layer first. Afterwards I add a layer of Parmesan Cheese on top of Pepperoni to help absorb oils while baking. The next layer I add is ham, followed by mozzarella cheese. Before I complete my last layer of cheese, I add spices and conclude my stromboli filling with provolone.)
Roll filled dough into a log shape (about 2 inches wide.) and center on your pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until bread is lightly browned and firm.
Slice and serve with marinara sauce.
