This recipe has become my 'go to' stromboli recipe. It's so easy and yummy! I add a little bit of sauce to mine but otherwise I make it just as the recipe directs and we just love it. I've tried using bread dough and it does ok in a pinch but the pizza dough is much easier. I've also tried making one large stromboli and prefer the 'individual' ones since the dough in the middle never seems to be cooked in the large one. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

I used my homemade thin crust pizza I had in the frig. so made two servings. Easy to do and great flavors.
