Stromboli

If frozen Bake at 350 for approximately 30 minutes (keep a eye on it). If slightly thawed, warm at 350 for 15 minutes on a baking sheet. Slice and serve with warm marinara sauce.

RECIPE:


Grease two cookie sheets and put a frozen bread dough log on each cookie sheet. Cover with saran wrap. Let defrost and rise all day (usually from 8am-5pm).

Then flatten dough on each cookie sheet and spread out to the length of the cookie sheet. (The dough will not cover the whole cookie sheet).

Start right at top center of the dough and put three pepperoni across, all the way down the middle of the dough.

Then sprinkle Italian seasoning.

Then sprinkle about 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.

Then sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups cooked sausage.

Then sprinkle with 1 cup shredded ham.

Then sprinkle with more Italian seasoning.

Now it's time to seal up the stromboli. First take sides, put them together and seal. Then take the top, fold it over and seal it. Do the same with the bottom. It should look like a nice little present now. Then flip it over so the seals are on the bottom of the greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with butter and Parmesan cheese.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Then slice up and dip in marinara sauce. Yum Yum
