Finally, I will share some secrets about making a great stromboli

[chessrock]

2 loaves thawed bread dough (find it frozen in the freezer section of your supermarket)
Jarred pizza or spaghetti sauce (or see the recipe box for a way to make your own homemade sauce)
Grated mozzarella or provolone cheese
Optional pizza toppings: (Pepperoni, sliced ham, mushrooms, sliced onion, tomatoes, spinach and/or other favorites)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 F.

Using a large knife, cut thawed loaf of bread dough into four to five equal pieces. On a flour-sprinkled surface, roll pieces into small circles about five to six inches in diameter. Using a spoon, spread a small amount of pizza sauce onto each circle and sprinkle with grated cheese and/or other toppings. The key here is to using the toppings sparingly! Too much and it will be impossible to seal the pocket. Kids can help with this part, too.

Next, carefully fold dough in half, pinching the edges together to seal the toppings within the pocket. Place pockets on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for ten minutes or when bread becomes a golden brown.

Serve hot, with a salad on the side.

Yo Chessy:

Man...good stuff. I don't think I had the EQ right on the oven but the end result was good as I had the reverb right.

Avoid pepperoni too much as the vocal will go sharp.

But, thanks for sharing.

Stromboli
This recipe is so easy and so delicious! Stromboli, if you don't already know, is a pizza-stuffed pastry. Pizza in a Pocket, if you will. My favorite thing about stromboli is how well it freezes after it's been baked. Perfect for future fast meals!

Ingredients:
2 loaves thawed bread dough (find it frozen in the freezer section of your supermarket)
Jarred pizza or spaghetti sauce
Grated mozzarella or provolone cheese
Pepperoni, sliced ham, mushrooms, sliced onion, tomatoes, spinach and/or other favorite pizza toppings (optional) * Here's a recipe for homemade pizza sauce for the more ambitious among you:

Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1-2 pound can crushed tomatoes
3 /4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 /4 teaspoon dried basil
1 /4 teaspoon thyme
1 /2 teaspoon salt
1 /8 teaspoon pepper

Directions:
Warm olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add crushed tomatoes and remaining ingredients, cooking over medium-low heat. Cook for 40-50 minutes until the sauce is thick.

Allow to cool before using as topping or storing. (I usually double or triple the quantity and freeze in single batches.)

To make stromboli:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Using a large knife, cut thawed loaf of bread dough into four to five equal pieces. On a flour-sprinkled surface, roll pieces into small circles about five to six inches in diameter.

Using a spoon, spread a small amount of pizza sauce onto each circle and sprinkle with grated cheese and/or other toppings. The key here is to using the toppings sparingly! Too much and it will be impossible to seal the pocket. Kids can help with this part, too.

Next, carefully fold dough in half, pinching the edges together to seal the toppings within the pocket. Place pockets on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes or when bread becomes a golden brown.

Serve hot, with a salad on the side.

Yo Gidge:

To keep the stereo balance in ratiocinative sync, add one clove of crushed garlic to the mix.

The vapors will flow, hmmmmmmmm; DELICIOUS.

To increase volume in your CD mix, use two cloves of garlic.

Goddamnit, Gidge. You caught me red-handed.

Even better, get fresh dough from a local bakery or pizzeria.
