Italian Stromboli

Stromboli is a great alternative to Pizza. . .you can fill it with pretty much any of your fav sub/sandwich ingredients. I made this one like the Italian BMT sub we love.

Ingredients:

1/2 pizza dough recipe or 1 mound from store or freezer

1 - 2 Tbs olive oil

 10 - 12 Sliced Hard Salami,

1 bag reg Pepperoni or large sliced

6-8 sliced Smoked Ham

8-10 slices provolone cheese

Add these to your liking:

Banana peppers

chopped jalapenos

diced onions, etc.

Pre-heat oven to 400; Place stone* in oven to heat; Roll out pizza dough to large rectangle (don't roll it too thin or it will fall apart when rolling it up). brush lightly with olive oil; in rows layer the meat so that is covers the dough - minus 1 inch along the long edge of the rectangle; layer cheese over the meat; then add your toppings; roll the dough long ways and seal edges; make small slits along top of Stromboli to vent steam; Bake for 25-30 minutes.

*baking on a pre-heated stone makes the bottom crispy!

I recommend using a stone, but you can also use a cookie sheet with a raised edge. don't use a flat cookie sheet as the oils may drip out onto your oven.

For a healthier recipe: use whole wheat dough and Turkey Pepperoni (the turkey pepperoni is less greasy and actually cooks up better than the regular pepperoni).
