Mortadella Cappicolla And Salami Stromboli Recipes

MORTADELLA STROMBOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mix 1 cup of the swiss cheese with the string cheese.
• Lightly brush a baking sheet with olive oil. Unroll the dough, cut in half to make two 6-by-9-inch pieces and place on the prepared pan.
• Spread half of the mixed cheese along one long side of each rectangle, leaving an inch border between the cheese and dough edge. Top each mound of cheese with half of the basil, a quarter of the olives, 1/4 cup tomato sauce and a third of the mortadella. Fold the dough over the filling lengthwise, pressing the edges to seal. Make slits in the top of the dough to allow steam to escape during baking.
• Bake the stromboli until brown, about 15 minutes; remove from the oven. Brush each with olive oil, then scatter the remaining olives, mortadella and cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese melts and the crust is golden. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

STROMBOLI WITH SALAMI, CAPOCOLLO AND PROVOLONE

Steps:

• For the Dough: Pulse the flour, yeast and salt in a food processor (use dough blade if possible), to combine. While the food processor continues running, add the oil and water through the feed tube and process until the dough is formed into a ball form, about 30 to 40 seconds. Let the dough rest in the bowl for 2 minutes then process for 30 seconds longer.
• Turn the dough into lightly floured surface and knead by hand to form a smooth, round ball, about 5 minutes, adding additional flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
• Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees. Gently deflate the dough with your fist and turn it out onto a unfloured work surface. Gently reshape the dough into a ball and cover with a plastic wrap lightly sprayed with vegetable oil spray. Let the dough rest 15 minutes, but no more than 30 minutes.
• For the Stromboli: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Press and roll the dough into a 12 by 10-inch rectangle with the long side facing you. Layer the meat and provolone over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border at all of the edges. Top with the peppers and Parmesan.
• Brush the edges of the dough with some of the egg wash. Starting from a long side, roll the dough tightly into a long cylinder, using the parchment paper to lift and roll the dough. Pinch the seam and ends to seal and roll the stromboli back into the center of the parchment paper, seam side down. Transfer the stromboli on the parchment paper to a baking sheet.
• Brush the dough all over with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Cover loosely with lightly greased aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the crust is golden, about 25 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking. (Keep an eye on the baking time to make sure it doesn't over cook!).
• Transfer the stromboli to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, slice into 2-inch-wide pieces and serve warm.

GRILLED MORTADELLA AND SALAMI SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
• Lightly make diagonal cuts both ways on the salami and mortadella, making sure not to cut completely through each slice. Grill the salami until it begins to get crisp and render some fat, 2 to 3 minutes. Then flip and top with a slice or 2 of muenster to fit. Grill until the muenster melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and slice into 4 pieces to fit 4 slider buns. Repeat the process with the mortadella.
• Smear the buns with the mustard. Top 4 of the buns with 1 slice grilled salami and a few chips. Repeat with the mortadella and remaining buns. Serve to the kids but watch the adults try and eat them all.

THE ULTIMATE STROMBOLI

Steps:

• 1. Mix grated onion & minced garlic in bowl. Set aside.
• 2. Set out all meats, separately, in columns.
• 3. Set out the provolone and the cheddar, separately, in columns.
• 4. Mix & drain peppers slightly (a tiny amount of juice will give flavor).
• 5. Once all ingredients are set out, knead the two pizza doughs together.
• 6. Very lightly flour a surface where you can roll out the dough with a rolling pin. Roll from the middle outwards until the dough is the size of your baking sheet. Mine was 12x16, more or less. It doesn't have to be perfect!
• 7. Lay the capicola down the left (long side) of the dough, slightly overlapping, from top to bottom, starting 1 inch in from edge of the dough.
• 8. Sprinkle with a little of the onion mixture, and a little of the pepper mix.
• 9. Next layer the Mozzarella in a narrow column from top to bottom, slightly to the right of the capicola you just did. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes and a little italian seasoning.
• 10. Next layer the mortadela, a little onion & then a little pepper mixture, again, a little to the right of the mozzarella.
• 11. Keep adding columns of the ingredients from left to right, pecorino romano, sopresata, onion, peppers, cheddar, italian seasoning, boiled ham, onion, peppers, parmesan, italian seasoning, genoa salami, onion, pepper mix, provolone, italian seasoning.
• 12. You should be about 3/4 of the way across the dough by now. Don't go all the way across the dough because it will move over as you roll it later.
• 13. Now you roll it up slowly starting on the long side (where you starting the layering with the capicola.) You will notice that the ingredients are moving over slightly. No problem. Pinch ends and tuck under the roll.
• 14. When you finish rolling, sprinkle sesame seeds lightly over the entire roll, top, bottom and sides. Sprinkle fennel seeds on top only.
• 15. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray with non-stick spray and then place the roll on the foil.
• 16. Bake at 400 degrees until browned ( about 35-40 minutes). You just want to be sure that the dough is baked. Meats are already cooked. Cool about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
