Roasted Vegetable Stromboli Food

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.

VEGGIE STROMBOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in lowest position. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add mushrooms, onion, salt, pepper, and oregano and cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add spinach and garlic and cook, stirring, until spinach has wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly.
• On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll dough into a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Spoon mushroom mixture length-wise down center of dough and top with tomatoes and cheese. Brush edges with egg and roll away from you into a log, pinching edges to seal. Place seam side down and transfer dough and parchment to a rimmed baking sheet. Brush with egg and cut 4 slits along the top. Bake on lowest rack until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before slicing.

MEAT AND VEGGIE STROMBOLI

Steps:

• Place thawed bread dough in a bowl in a warm area and let rise until doubled in size, 30 to 60 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Spread dough into a large rectangle on the prepared baking sheet.
• Mix 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, egg yolks, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper together in a bowl; spread mixture onto dough. Top Parmesan mixture layer with pepperoni, ham, and provolone cheese.
• Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir green bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms in the hot oil until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Spoon mixture over provolone layer.
• Roll dough around the filling and place stromboli, seam side-down, onto the baking sheet. Brush the top of stromboli with egg whites; sprinkle 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning over stromboli.
• Bake in the preheated oven until dough is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.

ROASTED VEGETABLE STROMBOLI

Steps:

• Vegetables -- Mix all vegetables with the olive oil, salt and pepper, dried oregano, red pepper flakes and roast in a 375F oven. Roast for 20 minutes. Just until the vegetables begin to brown and they are tender. Remove and let cool. Then mix in the fresh basil and parsley.
• Pizza dough -- roll out into 2 large rectangles about 18x12. I just roll mine on the counter with a little corn meal or flour on the counter so it doesn't stick.
• Make the sandwiches -- Spread the vegetables over the two pizza crusts. Make sure to leave a 1" border around all sides. Top with the Parmesan and mozzarella and roll up. You are just making a log.
• Baking -- I like to bake mine on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper so it doesn't stick. Make sure you slice 4 slices in the top of the stromboli before cooking and to brush with olive oil to make a golden brown crust. Bake at 400F for 30 minutes until golden brown and a light crunchy crust.
• Let the stromboli rest a few minutes (5 minutes) before slicing. I cut each stromboli into 4 pieces. If you want, serve with some marinara on the side. Just enjoy!
• Make a nice soup or salad and this is a great hearty dinner.
