Receta Peppers & Pepperoni Stromboli
I made this delicious Stromboli with peppers, fresh mushrooms, garlic, roasted red peppers, black olives, pepperoni and a whole lot of cheese! It turned out fantastic!! It got me thinking, why I haven't made Stromboli more often? It is a great way to use up left-overs, it's easy to make and it doesn't really matter what ingredients you use, because let's face it, anything enclosed in bread dough is going to taste good!!
A Stromboli is; a Calzone-like enclosed sandwich, made with cheese, usually mozzarella, pepperoni or sliced meat, spaghetti or pizza sauce, onions, peppers and/or mushrooms and then everything is wrapped in a pizza or bread dough. It's then baked until everything is nice and melted:)
There are so many variations that the possibilities are endless!! I'd love to make a Breakfast Stromboli next.

Place loaf of bread dough in a large greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
Heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add sweet peppers, mushrooms, garlic, roasted red peppers, black olives and all of the seasonings. Stir constantly veggies until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat oven to 375. Punch dough down. Roll loaf into a 15 x 12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread spaghetti sauce over dough to within 1/2 inch from the edge. Layer pepper mixture, pepperoni, Havarti cheese and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Fold ends inward towards middle, about an inch in, fold one long side in towards middle, fold remaining long side in towards middle, pinching ends together. Place seam side down on greased baking sheet. Lightly brush beaten egg over top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and dried herbs.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand 5-10 minutes before cutting. 8 servings. Enjoy!
*I used Emeril's Kicked Up Tomato Sauce.
**You can make your own bread dough if you don't want to use frozen.
**Tip: I prefer to place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and then fill and fold my dough.I then brush the surface with the beaten egg and sprinkle top with Parmesan cheese or dried herbs.
This way you don't have to lift the filled dough and you won't have an accident:)
