Stromboli

Here is my stromboli recipe. It's similar to the calzone. The main difference is the calzone is more like a pizza and the stromboli is more like a sandwich. We had this on Thursday.

Ingredients:

1 lb frozen bread dough, thawed or your own dough

mustard

salami

ham

bell pepper

olives

cheese

*you can add whatever other deli meats or toppings you would like

First roll out the dough into a rectangle. Brush with mustard. Layer meats, and toppings. Bring sides and ends together and pinch closed. Lay seam side down on baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown at 350 degrees.

Another filling idea would be to use alfredo or other cheese sauce and layer with shredded chicken and broccoli.

Hamburger Calzone

Tonight I made hamburger calzones. I was looking for a new way to use hamburger and this is what I came up with.

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

vegetables of your choosing, I used diced bell pepper, mushrooms and olives

pizza, spaghetti or tomato sauce

bread dough, I used premade frozen dough

cheese

salt, pepper, parsley, pizza seasoning

First brown your meat. I seasoned my meat with salt, pepper and parsley. Next turn off heat and add your veggies. Add enough sauce to just coat everything, but not so there is excess in the pan.

Roll out your dough into a rectangle.

Brush sauce over dough and sprinkle with pizza seasonings. Next add your topping and finish with cheese. Bring up the sides and fold together.

Place seam side down on baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.

Uses extra sauce or ranch for dipping.
