Stromboli Crust Mix Recipes

STROMBOLI CRUST MIX

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. Yield: 4 batches (about 8 cups)., To prepare stromboli: Contents of mix may settle during storage. When preparing recipe, spoon mix into measuring cup. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups crust mix and enough water to form a stiff dough. On a floured surface, roll dough into a 15x10x1-in. baking pan., Place salami lengthwise on half of the dough to within 1/2-in. of edge. Layer with cheddar cheese, ham, tomatoes, green pepper, onion and mozzarella cheese. Fold plain side of dough over filling; seal edges well. Brush with butter; sprinkle with oregano, salt and pepper., Bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes; cut with a serrated knife.

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.

QUICK AND EASY STROMBOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll the dough out and stretch it out on a piece of parchment paper. Spread the pizza sauce leaving about 2 inches from the edge. Top with Italian salami, then the cheese, and end with pepperoni.
• Roll up the dough up like a cinnamon roll and pinch the edges to seal and fold where the seam is. Lay the stromboli seam side down. Brush with the egg and cut small slats in the top. Top with 1/4 cup cheese, Italian seasoning and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve with warm pizza sauce.

STROMBOLI SQUARES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook sausage over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink; set aside.
• In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk and 1 egg with whisk or fork until blended. Spread half of the batter in baking dish. Top with cooked sausage, pepperoni, cheese and roasted pepper strips. Pour remaining batter over mixture in baking dish; spread to cover. In small bowl, beat remaining egg and water. Carefully brush over batter; sprinkle with poppy seed.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Top each serving with marinara sauce.

MONSTER STROMBOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Break open the tube of dough and remove it from container. Lightly coat surface you will roll the dough out on with flour. Gently roll and stretch the dough into a larger rectangle. Then cut the rectangle into four smaller rectangles.
• Lay out 6 slices pepperoni on each rectangle. Then layer 2 slices of cheese, 1 1/2 slices of ham and 2 slices Genoa salami on top.
• Starting at one corner, roll the dough and meat up to the other corner. You'll end up with a long roll that is thick in the middle and thinner on each end. Fold the ends under to seal in the meat and cheese.
• Using a spoon or pastry brush, smooth the olive oil on top of the unbaked rolls.
• In a small bowl, mix the sesame seeds, cheese and seasonings together. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of each stromboli.
• Bake until evenly golden, about 20-22 minutes. Serve with pizza 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.
