Tasty Bites: Stromboli

By Beth

A friend of mine recently organized a Freezer Meal Swap (see my last post on Adventures in Freezer Cooking). Four busy moms each prepared four of the same recipe and then we met to swap them and each went home with four dinners that are already prepped and in the freezer.  I prepared a Stromboli for each family.  Here is a Stromboli tutorial for you! I was inspired by this and this recipe.

Start out with frozen bread dough or your favorite basic dough recipe. Thaw the dough and allow it to rise according to the package directions, or use your own dough.  I used this dough and it is really easy and fool-proof.  Here is the beautiful, bubbly, risen dough ready to be spread.

Spread the dough in a rough rectangle and then roll it out in all directions into a larger rectangle, approximately 18”x12.”

Layer ½ lb of sliced mozzarella or provolone, followed by about 10 slices of Genoa salami, a couple of handfuls of pepperoni (I found 22 pieces to be just about perfect!) and a couple of handfuls of diced ham (about 30 pieces).
