Stromboli- $4.22 Each

 

Ingredients

Dough:

1 Cup of Warm Water

1 Teaspoon- Sugar

1 Tablespoon- Yeast

2 ½ Cups- Flour

1 Teaspoon- Salt

2 Tablespoon Oil 


Filling: 

5 Slices- Ham

6 Slices- Hard Salami

4 Slices- Provolone Cheese

18 Slices- Pepperoni

1 Cup- Mozzarella 


Dough Directions: 


** About 2 hour before you want to have your Stromboli, you need to start the dough.  


First you mix the warm water with the sugar until dissolved.  Then you sprinkle the yeast on

top and allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes.  



Sift flour and salt into the mixing bowl. 



Add the wet ingredients, 2 tablespoons oil and yeast mixture.  


Mix with a bread hook until it pulls away from the sides.  



Allow the dough to rise for 1 hour.  


Stromboli Directions


Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle.  

About ⅓ of the way down from the top place a layer of mozzarella and cover it with deli ham.   

Next place another layer of mozzarella cheese on top of the ham. 

Hard salami makes up the next layer.   

Followed by provolone cheese. 

Cover the provolone cheese with two rows of pepperoni. 

The final layer is Mozzarella cheese.   

Pull the bottom of the dough over all the layers and tuck in the ends.   Then roll the log up and seal the

end.   Place diagonal slits into the the roll so steam can escape.    

Bake at 450 Degrees for 20-25 minutes.   


Cut and Serve.   


Enjoy.

The Frugal Five: #49

  The Frugal Five: #49 With inflation on the rise and our salaries not being able to keep up, it seems like we have taken a pay cut and must be more careful with our money.   The Frugal Five is a series where we celebrate the daily or weekly activities that help us live a frugal life.     .          1- Haircut Savings Since haircuts are $30 per cut plus tip, each time my husband asks me to cut his hair, I am happy to.    This is a huge saving!   He gets his hair cut every other week, so on average, we save $60 per month on just his haircuts.    2- Beverages from Home  Each day I make coffee and take a travel mug with me to work.   In addition, I make homemade tea to pack for my lunch.    Since Starbucks’ coffee prices have gone up, my daily savings for my daily coffee has increased to about $5.75 per day.    In addition, sodas at work run about $2.00 per...
