Holy Stromboli!



I was in the mood for a stromboli....
...so I made one.
It looks like this:

Ingredients:
  • Pizza dough (Pillsbury=easy)
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh broccoli
  • fresh crushed black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Marinara sauce (for dipping)
  • Optional: limebacker

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Note: I originally put sun-dried tomatoes in this, but I wasn't a fan so I pulled them out before eating a piece, so if you noticed the red blobs in the photo, I apologize.

Begin by rolling and stretching your pizza dough into a rectangle on a baking sheet. Be sure not to stretch it too thin or it will tear and you will have a leaky stromboli (ew gross). Sprinkle half of the cheese down the center of your pizza dough. Start to layer the rest of the ingredients on top of the cheese: spinach leaves, tomatoes, broccoli. Finish by sprinkling the remaining cheese on top of the broccoli then adding the black pepper and oregano over everything. Fold one side of the dough over and then the other, overlapping. Pinch the ends close. Cover the stromboli with tin foil.

Bake for 15-17 minutes or until edges are golden. Transfer to top rack and turn broiler on for 2-3 minutes to brown the top. Ding! Stromboli Finito! Slice and serve with warm marinara sauce.

Inspiration: football playoffs and Puff.

Cheers...to a snow day?
