This is one of my hubby's favorite meals. It's great to double on a weeknight and freeze one for a future meal! If you make it with homemade bread dough you could freeze it prior to baking it. Then when you want to serve it in the future, remove it from freezer and thaw on cookie sheet in fridge. Bake as directed below.
Italian Stromboli
1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed (or make your own in breadmaker)
1/4 lb. each of sliced ham, pepperoni & genoa salami
1/2 green pepper, sliced
1/2 onion, sliced
several mushrooms, sliced
1 c. mozarella cheese, shredded
marinara sauce for dipping (great recipe HERE)
Saute' onion, pepper & mushrooms in skillet until tender. Set aside. Spread thawed (or homemade) dough into large rectangle on cookie sheet. Layer one side of the dough with sliced meat, sauteed veggies and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle small amount of garlic powder and Italian seasoning over cheese. Fold empty dough side over, sealing edges. Bake at 350F for 25 minutes or until dough is baked to golden on top. Let sit 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with warmed marinara sauce.
To freeze: Place cooled slices in Ziploc freezer bag.
To Serve: Reheat in oven (wrapped in foil).
