Stupendous Stromboli

Stromboli is a fancy word for a baked sandwich.  These are very easy to make and SO GOOD!!  I love to make these as a party food with other finger foods that you can eat while you play.  This is also a great recipe to get your kids involved...Kaylee loves to help me roll out the dough and put all the toppings on.  You can fill these sandwiches with any flavor combinations...here are our favorites:

Stromboli

• 1 loaf Rhodes frozen bread dough, thawed but still cold
• Possible sandwich fillings:
• 2-3 Tbsp Dijon mustard, thinly sliced ham, swiss cheese
• 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, 2 cups shredded chicken, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/3 pound pepperoni, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce to dip in once cooked
• 1 egg beaten
• 2 Tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
• Garlic powder

On a lightly oiled surface, roll bread dough out into a 10x15 inch rectangle.  Leaving 1/2 inch boarder on each side of bread dough, spread with mustard or BBQ sauce.  Arrange meat and cheese on dough, leaving 1/2 inch space along edges.  Starting along one long side, roll Stromboli up "jelly roll" fashion.  Pinch edges together to seal; fold ends under.  Place Stromboli on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray, seam side down.  Brush the top and sides with beaten egg.  Using a sharp knife, cut 1/2 inch slits along the top.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.  Cover with plastic wrap and let raise about 45 minutes to 1 hour.  Remove plastic wrap and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.  Cool for 10 minutes, slice and serve warm.

Enjoy!
