Ruler Stromboli Recipes

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.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; roll into a 14x10-in. rectangle. place on a greased baking sheet. , Place ham down center of rectangle; top with cheese and sausage. Spread mustard over meat; sprinkle with green pepper. , On each long side, cut 1-in.-wide strips about 2-1/2 in. into center. Starting at one end, folding alternating strips at an angle across filling. Pinch ends to seal. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes., Brush with egg white.

BEST STROMBOLI

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 warm water, yeast and sugar in a large bowl and stir to dissolve. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining warm water olive oil and salt. Gradually add 1 1/2 - 2 cups flour, mixing until smooth. Gradually add enough remaining flour until you have a smooth dough that comes away from the bowl. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10 minutes, working in more flour as needed. Shape into a ball, place in a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let dough rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a large baking sheet (if you have a pizza or bread stone in your oven you can forego the baking sheet and bake the stromboli directly on the stone).
• Punch dough down and cut in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough half into a rectangle about 10" x 8". Arrange fillings over dough as shown in, finishing with a sprinkling of Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder. Roll the dough much like you would if you were making a jelly roll. Pinch the edges of the seam and tuck the ends under.
• Cut long diagonal slashes, about 1/2 inch deep, along the top of the loaf every 3 inches or so. Brush top of loaf with beaten egg, avoiding the area in the slashes. Sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds if desired. Bake for about 30 minutes or until bread is golden brown. Cool slightly before cutting and serving, or if you prefer to eat your stromboli cold, cool completely on a wire rack before wrapping and refrigerating. Can be served with pizza sauce or different sauces for dipping!

THE ULTIMATE STROMBOLI

Steps:

• 1. Mix grated onion & minced garlic in bowl. Set aside.
• 2. Set out all meats, separately, in columns.
• 3. Set out the provolone and the cheddar, separately, in columns.
• 4. Mix & drain peppers slightly (a tiny amount of juice will give flavor).
• 5. Once all ingredients are set out, knead the two pizza doughs together.
• 6. Very lightly flour a surface where you can roll out the dough with a rolling pin. Roll from the middle outwards until the dough is the size of your baking sheet. Mine was 12x16, more or less. It doesn't have to be perfect!
• 7. Lay the capicola down the left (long side) of the dough, slightly overlapping, from top to bottom, starting 1 inch in from edge of the dough.
• 8. Sprinkle with a little of the onion mixture, and a little of the pepper mix.
• 9. Next layer the Mozzarella in a narrow column from top to bottom, slightly to the right of the capicola you just did. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes and a little italian seasoning.
• 10. Next layer the mortadela, a little onion & then a little pepper mixture, again, a little to the right of the mozzarella.
• 11. Keep adding columns of the ingredients from left to right, pecorino romano, sopresata, onion, peppers, cheddar, italian seasoning, boiled ham, onion, peppers, parmesan, italian seasoning, genoa salami, onion, pepper mix, provolone, italian seasoning.
• 12. You should be about 3/4 of the way across the dough by now. Don't go all the way across the dough because it will move over as you roll it later.
• 13. Now you roll it up slowly starting on the long side (where you starting the layering with the capicola.) You will notice that the ingredients are moving over slightly. No problem. Pinch ends and tuck under the roll.
• 14. When you finish rolling, sprinkle sesame seeds lightly over the entire roll, top, bottom and sides. Sprinkle fennel seeds on top only.
• 15. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray with non-stick spray and then place the roll on the foil.
• 16. Bake at 400 degrees until browned ( about 35-40 minutes). You just want to be sure that the dough is baked. Meats are already cooked. Cool about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

STROMBOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven (with pizza stone inside ) to 450 degrees F. (If do not have pizza stone, can use a baking sheet). Sprinkle a little flour on your work surface.

Mix the three cheeses and the herbs together in a small bowl and sprinkle on top of the toppings.
• Starting at the end closest to you, roll the stromboli into a log. Seal the dough by pinching firmly with fingertips on sides and ends.
• Sprinkle a little cornmeal on a pizza paddle. Put the stromboli on the paddle. Make sure the seam is on the bottom. Use a pastry brush to brush the top and sides of the stromboli with a little olive oil. Carefully place the stromboli on preheated pizza stone. Turn down oven temperature to 400 degrees F. and bake for 35 minutes. Carefully remove from oven and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Slice with a serrated knife.
