The best way to describe this dish is as a pizza prepared
in a "jelly roll" fashion.
Serves 4-6
1 batch Pizza dough (bread machine, mix, or scratch for a
14-inch pizza)
1 1/2 cups Marinara or pizza sauce
Pizza toppings (pepperoni, mushrooms, sausage, etc.)
2 cups Mozzarella or Provolone, grated
Olive oil
Roll the dough into a 14 X 10 inch rectangle. Spoon on the
sauce. Add the toppings. Sprinkle on the cheese. Roll the
Stromboli like a jelly roll (not too tight). Pinch the seam
and ends. Place on a cookie sheet, seam down. Lightly brush
with oil. Cover with a towel and place in a warm,
draft-free area for 20 minutes. Pre-heat oven to 375. Cook
for 20-25 minutes or until lightly brown. Allow to cool 3
minutes. Slice about 1 inch thick.
