Quick and Easy Stromboli

This is one of our favorite Wednesday night meals because it's fast and tasty. When you have to be at church by 6:15 you need a quick recipe!  It's also great for parties. You can fill it with whatever you like as well. The trick is to make sure that the dough is cold. I mean straight from the fridge, because it won't unroll as well when it's warm. I am giving two versions we have tried, but be creative! Enjoy!

Pizza Stromboli

Pizza Stromboli

Unroll dough on a greased baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce over the dough to within an inch of the edges. Sprinkle with mozzarella, pepperoni, mushrooms and any other toppings. Roll up jelly-roll style starting with the long side.  Pinch seams to seal and tuck ends under. Place seam side down on a baking sheet or stone. With a sharp knife, cut several slits on top of the loaf. Bake a 350 for 25-30 minutes or until golden. Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with heated pizza or marinara sauce.
