Stromboli

We love, love, LOVE pizza at our house. Here's a fairly easy way to mix it up a bit. Its also a great idea for those who love dipping their pizza because extra sauce is key to the tasty joy.

Easy Stromboli
(Adapted from here)
 
1 tablespoon active dry yeast 
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°) 
3 tablespoons vegetable oil 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour 
Spaghetti or Pizza sauce to your liking (1-2 cups?)
20-30 slices of pepperoni
Diced green pepper
Diced onion
Lots of shredded mozzarella cheese

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the oil, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. 

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; roll into a 14-in. x 12-in. rectangle. 

Transfer to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Spoon sauce to within 1/2 in. of edges. Top with the pepperoni, peppers, onions and cheese. Obviously whatever toppings YOU want will work. 

Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal and tuck ends under. Hint--you REALLY want to pinch this thing tight and...it will probably still start oozing in the oven.

Bake at 400° for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, heat up extra sauce on the stove. Serve your stromboli warm, topping slices with lots of extra sauce. Enjoy!
