Stromboli

One of my new favorite meals to make (and eat) is Stromboli. I love that it is super versatile and you can make it with pretty much anything that you have around. I love that it's easy and I love how yummy it is. We've had it 3 or 4 times in the last month, with different fillings every time. It makes me feel like an awesome baker when I pull something out of the oven and it's perfectly golden and crisp. There are so many variations of this, I just know it's going to be a family favorite for a long time to come.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb. pizza dough
Dried parsley & Parmesan cheese
1 tbs milk
Filling ingredients such as
-Pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni
-Cheddar cheese, deli ham
-Ground beef, onions, red peppers, marinara sauce
-Salami, ham, mozarrella cheese, pizza sauce
-Chicken, bacon, cheese, alfredo sauce

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly spray and spread pizza dough out on baking sheet to be approximately 10x16. Spread pizza sauce (if desired) over 2/3's of the dough lengthwise, leaving a 3x16 rectangle of plain dough along one of the edges. Top sauce with remaining filling ingredients. Brush the plain strip of dough with a small amount of milk. Fold in the sides about an inch and brush them with milk. Roll up like a jelly roll lengthwise starting along the long edge of dough topped with all the fillings and ending with the plain strip of dough on the bottom of the roll. Brush the entire stromboli with milk and gently cut slats in the top of the dough every 1-2 inches. Sprinkle parsley and parmesan cheese over top and bake 8-10 minutes or until bubbly and golden. Remove from oven, cool 5 minutes and slice into pieces. Serve hot with a side of pizza sauce.
