Recipe Introduction
Picnics are the best excuse for a great family get-together. And preparing for the picnic can provide even more family fun when you assemble and bake stromboli, an easy-to-make Italian sandwich that bursts with flavor. Choose ingredients according to taste ......
If you are headed to a picnic spot, wrap the entire roll in aluminum foil and transport in a cooler to keep fresh. Slice when you arrive at your destination.
List of Ingredients
1 loaf frozen bread dough (makes 2 stromboli rolls), thawed
4 ounces fresh whole spinach leaves, washed
6 slices pastrami
6 slices provolone cheese
6 slices mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup sliced red pepper (fresh or processed in oil)
Recipe
Cut the loaf of thawed dough in half and roll out each half into a 12-by-8-inch rectangle. Place one-fourth of the spinach leaves over each half of dough, leaving about a 1-inch border all around where there will be no filling. Top the spinach with a layer of pastrami, provolone, the remaining spinach, mozzarella and red pepper.
Roll up jelly-roll fashion and secure seams carefully by pinching the dough to keep it tightly closed while baking. Place the rolls seam-side down on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Score the top of each roll with a small knife or kitchen scissors, making a few short slits. Cover with a cloth and let rise 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature.
Bake at 325 degrees for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. To get a nice, crisp crust, baste several times with water or a light coating of oil during baking. Cool before serving and slice about 3/4 inch thick for individual servings.
