Stromboli


I can't believe I haven't posted about stromboli yet. I make it so often I just assumed I had posted this recipe:


Stromboli

Bread dough- I throw a batch in my bread machine a few hours before it's time to make dinner, but I think the original recipe called for a frozen loaf from the store and allow it to sit out until it's thawed.

1/2 lb thin sliced hard salami

1/2 lb thin sliced deli ham

1/2 lb thin sliced mozarella cheese

1/2 lb thin sliced cheddar cheese

*1 onion thinly sliced

*1 green pepper thinly sliced


Roll out the bread dough to form two rectangles about 10x 18 inches. Cover half of each rectangle (the long way) with half of the salami, half of the ham and half of each cheese.

*The original recipe called to sautee the onion and green pepper together, then put it on top of your meat and cheese. I have learned to leave the onions and peppers out since we're cooking for kids. It's great either way.

Next, fold the bread closed over the top of your meats and cheese and seal it by pinching around the edges. Beat one egg and brush the top of dough with egg, then sprinkle with garlic powder and italian seasoning.

This recipe makes two strombolis. Place them on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes.

Yum!
