Stromboli (Jackie's recipe...but better!)

Posted by carsimulator on Friday, February 26, 2010

This is Jackie's wonderful recipe and I increased it by 1/2, for the most part. I had a terrible time "braiding" the dough...forgive me for the interesting way your stromboli may look.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 loaf frozen bread dough
3 egg yolks, save whites
2 T. Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tsp. parsley
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 T. oil
1 3/4 cup Italian pork sausage
35ish pepperoni slices
8 oz. Mozzarella or Pizza cheese
Italian seasoning

Assembly Day:
Thaw dough according to directions. Mix everything except meat and mozzarella. Roll dough out onto greased surface. Spread spice mixture on top, being careful to leave one inch of dough all the way around with no mixture on it. If the dough has wet mixture it on it, it will not seal. Cover with meat and cheese. Pull sides up, twisting to seal dough. Put on jelly roll stone or baking pan. Seal ends and wrap underneath. Beat egg whites. Brush on top. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning. The Freezer Chicks have an awesome tutorial on how to make Stromboli at this link: http://freezerchicks.blogspot.com/2009/10/stromboli-step-by-step.html

To Freeze:
Bake in 350 oven 15 minutes or just until barely golden. Cool completely on cooling rack. Double wrap in Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil. Freeze flat.

Serving Day:
Thaw completely. Bake in 350 oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. If the top is browning too quickly and the inside is not finished, just lay a piece of foil over the Stromboli for the remainder of the baking time. Let cool 10 minutes. Slice in 1 inch slices. Dip in pizza sauce.

ENJOY!!!
