Spiral Stromboli

Submitted by Crafty Lady 13

"Stuffed with salami, ham, roasted red peppers and cheeses, this stromboli takes advantage of refrigerated French loaf dough so it's easy to assemble for a meal, appetizer or late night snack. I have prepared this with other variations--using diced green peppers or onions, pepperoni, etc. I like to make this using whatever I have on hand or whatever I have a craving for. Another favorite from Taste of Home's Busy Family Cookbook."

All I can say is, WOW! This was such a huge hit at this years Christmas party. Caution. If you are an idiot like me, don't think you can slap the dough down on the table and start pressing it out into a rectangle--no way. I worked the you know what out of that dough, if just kept snapping back. I went through two cans of dough before I noticed there were perforations that would allow you to roll the dough out. Once I got past that, it was very easy. I roasted the red bell peppers on the grill and sliced them into strips rather than dice them. I use deli sliced pepperoni (large like a salami), salami, and pepper ham. I partially cooked the pepperoni and salami in the microwave for 1 min to get rid of some of the grease so the finished Stromboli wouldn't be too soggy. That worked out great. Not only was the Stromboli not soggy with grease, the pre-cooking of the meat really brought our their flavors. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe can be modified to make a million different strombolis. We've made this as posted, but have also tried it with chicken/cheese/jalapenos, sausage/cheese, pepperoni/cheese, spinach/feta, etc. Get creative!

This was a very quick and easy dinner tonight! You can easily change the filling up to suit different tastes and have a meal on the table in no time. I made it with the ham and salami as written, but did skip the roasted red pepper as a personal choice. Thanks for sharing your recipe :) Made for PAC Spring 09

This made a very tasty and simple to prepare lunch for the kids and I (Yea no PB&J!). The only issue I ran into was the grease however; that was because I allowed the kids pick the filling. We stuffed our Stromboli full with Provolone and mozzarella cheese, some uncured salami, uncured sandwich pepperoni (same taste just larger in diameter), a little capicola ham, mushrooms and red onion. The kids want it again for lunch tomorrow however; I think next time I will have to make two one for them and one chocked full of nothing but veggies and cheese for me. Thanks for posting Crafty Lady! Made as a recipenap for AUS/NZ Swap #24.
