Super Bowl Stromboli Recipes

SUPER BOWL ITALIAN STROMBOLI RECIPE

Steps:

• Open both cans of crescent rolls, and unroll the dough into 8 total rectangles, 4 from each can. Don't separate into triangles, just unroll into 4 rectangles from each can.
• On a non-stick 12-inch pizza pan (or a large cookie sheet), arrange the rectangles in a circle, such that the short ends are at the edges, and the long edges are adjacent to each other. The center circle should be about 4 inches in diameter. The dough will overlap a bit at the center of the ring, and the other edges will hang off the pan. It will basically look like a sun with rays!
• Place a slice of provolone cheese over each rectangle toward the center part of the ring, leaving about 1-inch from the center.
• Then layer slices of pepperoni, salami, and prosciutto over the cheese, followed by the red peppers and banana peppers. Top with slices of mozzarella cheese.
• Bring the outer edge of each rectangle of dough over the stack of meats and cheeses toward the center of the ring, and tuck it underneath the bottom layer of dough, pinching to secure the seams. Some of the filling will be exposed, and that's fine.
• Sprinkle the ring evenly with Italian seasoning.
• Bake at 325 degrees for about 25 minutes, or until edges are golden, and the cheeses are melted and bubbly at the exposed edges. The dough should feel baked through when lightly pressed.
• Remove from heat, and cool for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

STROMBOLI

Steps:

• For the pizza dough: Add the yeast, 1 cup warm water and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook. Let the mixture sit to allow the yeast to activate. The mixture should start foaming and forming small bubbles on the surface, 10 minutes. Gradually add the flour with the mixer on low speed. Add the olive oil and salt. Continue to mix on low and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Increase the speed as the flour becomes incorporated, and knead on medium speed, 7 to 8 minutes. The dough is done when it comes together as a single mass.
• Remove the dough from the mixer and knead 4 to 5 times on a lightly-floured surface so the dough is smooth and consistent. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic and allow to sit until the dough rises and doubles in volume, 1 hour.
• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Divide the dough in half and, working with one piece at a time, stretch the dough into a 10-by-13-inch rectangle. Arrange the dough rectangle so the 13-inch-long side is closest to you. Brush the surface with half of the melted butter, then spread the minced garlic out evenly over the top, remembering to split the filling ingredient quantities evenly across both stromboli. Leave a 1-inch border around the far and side borders.
• Sprinkle the dough with the Parmesan, then layer with the salami slices. Top the salami with a layer of deli ham and then a layer of bresaola. Shingle the cheese slices over the top and finish with fresh basil and some ground black pepper. With the covered edge closest to you, roll the dough up into a log, gently sealing the ends of the roll as you go. When you get to the end that has no filling on it, gently press to seal, then place the roll seam-side down on a nonstick sheet tray. Repeat the process with second piece of dough. Brush the tops of the dough with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake in the center of the oven until golden brown and puffy, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Allow the stromboli to cool 5 minutes before slicing it into thick slices with a serrated knife. Serve with the Marinara Sauce on the side or some mustard.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until the garlic is almost brown, another 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer, 20 minutes.
• Add the basil and oregano, and continue to simmer to thoroughly marry the flavors, 20 minutes longer. Puree the mixture with a stick blender, food mill or food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Yield: Makes 1 quart.
