Garbage Stromboli And Dough Recipes

BROCCOLI CHEESE STROMBOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Oil a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil and set aside.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook until the broccoli has softened slightly and become bright green, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Lightly flour a clean work surface and stretch or roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 11-by-13 inches. With the long side closest to you, spread the pesto on the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border on all sides. (You'll want to maintain the 1-inch border when adding the remaining toppings.) Top the pesto with the broccoli mixture and sprinkle over the Cheddar. Shingle the mozzarella slices over the Cheddar. Sprinkle on the basil leaves.
• Fold the short sides in, then roll the dough into a log. Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, make 5 to 6 diagonal slits on top of the dough. Brush the top with the remaining tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan.
• Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve the warmed marinara alongside and top each serving with some more fresh basil.

GARBAGE STROMBOLI AND DOUGH

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the dough my fluffing together the yeast and flower with a fork. Mix well.
• 2. Slowly introduce the warm water, careful not to make soupy.
• 3. Knead for about 7-10 minutes until the dough becomes elastic-y in texture.
• 4. Put kneaded dough into a little greased bowl and let stand for 30 minutes.
• 5. Set oven to 300* and begin to knead the dough a couple more turns. Roll out the dough and form it into a rectangle.
• 6. Lay down your cheese and then the rest of your toppings. Take your garlic powder and put a nice dusting over your toppings.
• 7. Now, to roll the Stromboli, make sure it's tight but don't thin out the dough as you go otherwise it will tear while baking. You want to get as many rolls into it as you can, you want the layers. I find it better to tuck in the ends on the left and right as you're rolling. Hopefully the picture is helpful.
• 8. Seal the Stromboli edges together by pinching them shut. Place it on parchment paper with the seam facing down, and onto your baking pan. Cook for 30 minutes.
• 9. When the 30 minutes are over, take the melted butter and the other wash ingredients and mix them. Pull out the Stromboli and spoon the mixture on. Shut off your oven and put the Stromboli in for another 10 minutes. (Sometimes I leave mine there until I'm ready to eat it.)
• 10. Take out and enjoy with a side of marinara.

HAM AND CHEESE STROMBOLI

Steps:

• If defrosting, pull out the bread dough the night before and follow instructions to defrost.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lightly dust a large working surface as well as a rolling pin. Roll the dough out to a rectangle 8x13 inches long. Transfer the dough to the parchment covered baking sheet.
• Lay ham across the dough. Layer cheese on top. Cover with another layer of ham. Sprinkle with basil. Season with a little bit of salt and black pepper.
• Tightly roll up the dough, jelly-roll style. Tucks the ends over and pinch eveyrthing closed. (You can also brush the edges with egg wash to help them seal. Cut three slits in the top of the stromboli. Take a pastry brush and brush the top with egg wash. Sprinkle with more dried basil and plenty of salt and pepper.
• Bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 25-30 minutes. Let the stromboli rest for 5 minutes before gently slicing with a serrated knife. Serve right away.

HOW TO MAKE A LOW CARB STROMBOLI

Steps:

• Prepare your Stromboli dough as directed in the dough recipe that you are using. Preheat your oven to 375. Prepare a cookie sheet for nonstick. Roll the dough out on the cookie sheet, making sure that the dough is evenly rolled out. Then brush the dough with some of your melted butter (saving the rest for later).
• Evenly distribute the sliced meat over the dough and the cover with the cheese. Any optional ingredients can be added here as well. This includes any sauce that you may want to add.
• In the step we will roll or fold (once over) the Stromboli and shape it into a 'loaf'. In doing so, be sure to pinch the edges of the dough. Cut slits in the top of the Stromboli and then brush the remaining butter over it. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until just browned.

GARBAGE BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the bread flour in a mixing bowl. Add the salt and yeast on opposite sides of the bowl, then stir each one in with your finger. Mix in the sugar.
• Pour in the olive oil and half of the water, then begin to mix with your fingers. Keep stirring and crushing the mixture, gradually adding more water as needed, until a somewhat sticky dough has formed. Make sure all of the flour has been picked up from the bottom of the bowl.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes, until it is very smooth and no longer leaves a sticky residue on your hands or the work surface.
• Use the windowpane test to see if the dough is sufficiently kneaded. Break off a piece and stretch it with your fingers until it's translucent. It should be able to stretch to translucency without breaking; if it breaks, knead for a minute longer and check again.
• Pour a little olive oil into a mixing bowl. Shape the dough into a ball and turn it in the bowl to coat with oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let it prove in a warm place until at least doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Grate the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses and refrigerate until needed. Rinse, pat dry, and finely chop a few basil leaves.
• Punch down the risen dough to remove the air pockets, then roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle about 11x17 inches.
• Spread the dough with the tomato sauce, leaving a 1-2 inch border all the way around. Sprinkle with black pepper, Italian seasoning, and chopped fresh basil. Scatter the grated cheeses on top, then lay the pepperoni slices on top.
• Starting from the long side of the rectangle closest to you, begin rolling the dough into a log. Go slowly and try to keep the roll as tight as possible. Firmly pinch the seam and ends to seal.
• Place the log on a rimmed 11x17-inch cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and let it prove in a warm place until the dough springs back quickly when prodded with a fingertip, about 40 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F. Start the oven about 10 minutes before the bread is done proving.
• Watch the loaf as it bakes; some of the cheese may leak out of the bread if it cracks in the oven. Check to see if it's baked by inserting a thermometer into the center of the loaf; it should read at least 190 F.
• Let the garbage bread cool for 40 minutes on a wire cooling rack, then slice and serve plain or with marinara dipping sauce. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3-5 days.

GARBAGE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium-low heat cook bacon until it's crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside. Drain most of the grease.
• In the same skillet, heat to medium high. Add the onions and ground beef into the skillet and cook until the the onions are soft and the meat is cooked through. Drain anymore excess liquid/grease from the pan. Place the skillet back on the heat and turn the heat to low. Add bacon back into the pan and season with the steak seasoning. Add in the Velveeta and stirring continuously cook until the cheese is melted. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Roll the pizza dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. The dough should be approximately a 15×10 rectangle. Spread the meat mixture evenly on top, leaving an inch at the edges to allow for spreading. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the meat. Roll up the pizza dough, starting with the long sides and pinch the crust together to seal. Bake seam side down for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the bread to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

ALFREDO STROMBOLI

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spray cookie sheet with non-stick pan spray.
• 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all items except crust and oil. Mix until well blended.
• 3. Add 1/2 of the mixture in center of each unrolled crust.
• 4. Fold over edges.
• 5. Press to seal.
• 6. Cut one or two slits in top to vent.
• 7. Brush top of each with oil.
• 8. Bake 25 to 30 mins or until crust is golden brown. Let stand for 3 to 5 mins. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

SOURDOUGH STROMBOLI

Steps:

• Filling
• Prepare this after you mix your dough or at least an hour before the end of the dough's bulk fermentation, so it has time to cool down. You can also prepare the filling and refrigerate it for several days.
• In a large frying pan, saute the onion, garlic, salt and spices first, then add the ground beef or spinach or broccoli.
• Transfer the cooked filling to a bowl, cover, and set aside or refrigerate.
• Do NOT saute the fresh basil, cheese(s), or salami, as these will be spread on the dough without pre-cooking.
• Dough
• In a medium bowl, mix all the dough ingredients together until incorporated. Turn out onto a floured counter and knead just long enough to develop a ball, adding enough flour so that hand-kneading is possible.
• Lightly oil your bowl, return the dough to the bowl and cover.
• Let ferment 6-10 hours at room temperature, or longer if you put the dough in the refrigerator. The dough of the beef version was at room temperature for a few hours and then 48 hours in the refrigerator. The dough will be about doubled by the end of the bulk fermentation (see gallery).
• Assembly
• At the end of the bulk fermentation, begin preheating your oven to 450F with a pizza stone, baking steel, or baking sheet inside. I baked the veggie strombolis on a stone and the beef strombolis on a baking sheet to confirm both work fine.
• Scrape the dough onto your counter and divide it in two pieces weighing ~550g each. Shape the dough into two balls.
• Let the dough rest for 10-20 minutes while you prepare two pieces of lightly floured parchment paper ~12"x14", a bowl with egg wash, and bowls with your fillings.
• Take one of the dough balls, flour it on both sides, and roll/stretch it into an approx 10" x 12" rectangle that is about 1/4" to 3/8" thick. Transfer the rolled out dough to your floured parchment paper. Repeat with the second dough ball.
• Divide the fillings between the two doughs, spreading the fillings down the center of each. Leave about 1/3 of the dough empty on both sides.
• With a pair of scissors or a sharp knife, cut one-inch strips of dough, perpendicular to the line of filling, on both sides of the filling (see photo gallery).
• Fold the cut pieces of the dough inward at a 45-degree angle, making sure to alternate left and right sides. Fold the ends of the tube upward and seal the dough.
• Wash the top of the stromboli with a beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds if you want to.
• Cut back one side of the parchment of one of the strombolis, so you can fit both on your pizza stone without overlap of parchment and stromboli.
• Baking
• With a pizza peel or an upside down baking sheet, transfer your strombolis (still on their parchment paper) to the preheated stone/steel/sheet and cook for 18-20 minutes. Rotate the strombolis about 10 minutes in if you notice varied browning.
• Remove from oven and let cool on a rack about 15 minutes before cutting. Serving at room temperature is good also. The beef version can be more juicy so be careful of hot oil when transferring to the rack.
• Storage and Reheating
• When cool, wrap and refrigerate to prevent spoiling, particularly of the meat-containing versions.
• You can reheat the stromboli in the oven at 350'F for 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of your leftovers.
