Stromboli Crust Mix Recipes

STROMBOLI

Steps:

• For the pizza dough: Add the yeast, 1 cup warm water and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook. Let the mixture sit to allow the yeast to activate. The mixture should start foaming and forming small bubbles on the surface, 10 minutes. Gradually add the flour with the mixer on low speed. Add the olive oil and salt. Continue to mix on low and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Increase the speed as the flour becomes incorporated, and knead on medium speed, 7 to 8 minutes. The dough is done when it comes together as a single mass.
• Remove the dough from the mixer and knead 4 to 5 times on a lightly-floured surface so the dough is smooth and consistent. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic and allow to sit until the dough rises and doubles in volume, 1 hour.
• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Divide the dough in half and, working with one piece at a time, stretch the dough into a 10-by-13-inch rectangle. Arrange the dough rectangle so the 13-inch-long side is closest to you. Brush the surface with half of the melted butter, then spread the minced garlic out evenly over the top, remembering to split the filling ingredient quantities evenly across both stromboli. Leave a 1-inch border around the far and side borders.
• Sprinkle the dough with the Parmesan, then layer with the salami slices. Top the salami with a layer of deli ham and then a layer of bresaola. Shingle the cheese slices over the top and finish with fresh basil and some ground black pepper. With the covered edge closest to you, roll the dough up into a log, gently sealing the ends of the roll as you go. When you get to the end that has no filling on it, gently press to seal, then place the roll seam-side down on a nonstick sheet tray. Repeat the process with second piece of dough. Brush the tops of the dough with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake in the center of the oven until golden brown and puffy, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Allow the stromboli to cool 5 minutes before slicing it into thick slices with a serrated knife. Serve with the Marinara Sauce on the side or some mustard.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until the garlic is almost brown, another 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer, 20 minutes.
• Add the basil and oregano, and continue to simmer to thoroughly marry the flavors, 20 minutes longer. Puree the mixture with a stick blender, food mill or food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Yield: Makes 1 quart.

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.
