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.

Crocktober Day 3==> Sloppy Joes

  The leaves are turning colors and starting to drop.   In addition, the weather is turning cool and October is Crock Pot Month. So dust off your slow cookers and start using them to help get dinner on the table this month.     My slow cooker is a big asset and gets a lot of use over the fall and winter months.    When it is cold outside I use my slow cooker to make soups, stews, sauces, and one-pot meals.      Since school is in full swing, I can get my dinner going in the morning when I have more time.   Then, dinner is done when I am exhausted and this avoids the desire to eat out.    Crocktober is a challenge, to use your crock pot every day in October.    Although I will not use my crock pot daily, I will use it more this month and post several recipes.    Come along for the month and see what is cooking.    Day 3 Our third recipe is homemade Barbeque or Sloppy Joe....
