Spinach And Sausage Stromboli Recipes

ITALIAN SAUSAGE STROMBOLI (AKA SAUSAGE BREAD)

Steps:

• Lay pizza dough on a lightly floured surface so it can rest.
• Slice Italian sausage into 1/2 inch slices; fry in a 10" skillet over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup water, peppers and onions; bring to boil and cover.
• Reduce heat to low and cook about 5-10 minutes more, or until veggies are tender and sausage is heated through.
• Drain liquid from skillet and sprinkle sausage mixture with Italian seasoning; set aside.
• ***If you have leftover sausage, onions and peppers, like I did, you just need to warm it up***.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Roll pizza dough (on a lightly floured counter) into a rectangle, approximately 11 x 17.
• Sprinkle with sausage mixture, then the cheeses.
• Start at the bottom of the long side and roll jellyroll fashion, stopping occasionally to stuff sides it. When you get to the end, pinch seam together, trying to squeeze air out as you go.
• Place seam side down on baking sheet; bake for about 25 minutes at 375 degrees.
• Remove from oven and lay a clean dish towel on top of loaf; this will allow the crust to soften up and it will be easier to slice and eat.
• After about 10 minutes or so, slice into 1 inch slices. Serve with warmed sauce for dipping, if desired.
• Enjoy!

SPINACH & CHEESE STROMBOLI

Steps:

• 1. place pizza dough on a floured surface and cover with dish towel until thawed and rises.
• 2. Place oil in sauté pan and lightly cook garlic. Add spinach and sauté with garlic and oil. Add salt and pepper. Salt will get water out of spinach. Remove when most juice is cooked out and let cool.
• 3. Preheat Oven to 400. In large bowl mix together ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Then add spinach mixture. Mix well.
• 4. Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface. Make a rectangle as best you can. Put filling near end and slowly roll tucking in sides. Place in a greased pan or foil for easy clean up.
• 5. After rolling the Stromboli, brush with olive oil. Add any seasoning you would like. You can also add sesame seeds. I sprinkled garlic powder, oregano and some Parmesan cheese. Make slits with knife to allow steam to escape during cooking.
• 6. Finally, place in 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes until brown. Let cool then slice and serve with warm marinara sauce. Bon appetite!

STROMBOLI WITH SAUSAGE

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a sheet of aluminum foil place a loaf of good French bread, cut almost in half. Spread both top and bottom of loaf with pizza sauce. The sandwich I am trying to duplicate had a small amount of sauce. You can use more to your liking.
• 2. In medium skillet cook and crumble sausage with onion. Add basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread meat filling on both sides of sandwich. Sprinkle cheese over all. Place sandwich, open faced, in oven and heat until cheese is melted, about 5-10 minutes. Fold sandwich closed, wrap in foil, and continue to bake for 10-15 minutes more. Cut in half.
