Liamsaunt, I admit that I watch this thread for all of your dishes!!! Yum.

I need to get the camera out occasionally, but 2 kids and a demanding life rein that in. Last night was a bacon and gruyere strata because my youngest had a rough day and wanted breakfast for dinner. That went over so well I think its time for a souffle.

Thanks for the pics, keep them coming.

Cheers, RickG

I found the recipe on food network site. thanks for the photo to go along with it

I have got to get my camrea out again Last night was a venison stir fry that was yummy

Oh it all looks so good! I wish I could cook - I guess I need to take the time to do it.

Jayseadee - could you post the recipe for your veggie rolled sandwich thing (see I con't even think of the name of it!)

Thanks!

Wonton - thanks for the info on Frank's - will get some soon.

Oh and I owe you a cd but I haven't had a chance lately between Christmas and then Mardi Gras being WAY early this year. Will get to work on it. Also, he has a new one that just came out. Kellyanna ordered it, but I haven't even had time to check into it as I want to try to buy it locally first.

Hi Tracy,

They're called Stromboli's . The fillings can be just about anything.

The veggie one I made had Provolone, Parmesan and Mozzarella cheeses, roasted Red peppers, sliced fresh tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, and sliced green and black olives. The secret is to drain the vegetables well and slice everything very thin so that you can roll it - that was the mistake I made this last time. It wouldn't roll so I just pulled the ends up to the top middle and pressed them together.

I don't use recipes, but I found one on the web and doctored it up a bit. I follow the Easy Dough way.

Jayseadee’s Stromboli

Dough (easy way)
1 can Pillsbury Pizza Crust

Dough (real way)

1 1/4 C warm water (105° - 115°F)
1 tablespoon yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
between 3 1/2 - 4 cups flour

Fillings (mix and match as you like)
about 1/2 lb. thinly sliced meats such as ham, salami, turkey, pepperoni, cappicola
about 1/4 lb. sliced cheese
1/4 C grated Parmesan cheese

Other Options
thinly sliced tomatoes
thinly sliced onions
thinly sliced bell peppers or roasted bell peppers
chopped black or green olives
roasted garlic
fresh basil


1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)

For real Dough

Combine 1/4 warm water, yeast and sugar in a large bowl and stir to dissolve. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining warm water olive oil and salt. Gradually add 1 1/2 - 2 cups flour, mixing until smooth. Gradually add enough remaining flour until you have a smooth dough that comes away from the bowl. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10 minutes, working in more flour as needed. Shape into a ball, place in a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let dough rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

For easy Dough

Open can and spread dough onto a baking sheet

Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a large baking sheet
Arrange fillings over dough in rows overlapping, finishing with a sprinkling of Parmesan.

Roll the dough much like you would if you were making a jelly roll.
Pinch the edges of the seam and tuck the ends under.

Cut long diagonal slashes, about 1/2 inch deep, along the top of the loaf every 3 inches or so.
Brush top of loaf with beaten egg, avoiding the area in the slashes.
Sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds if desired

Bake for about 30 minutes or until bread is golden brown.

Cool slightly before cutting and serving.

If you prefer to eat your stromboli cold, cool completely on a wire rack before wrapping and refrigerating

Freezes very well

Mangia!!

I love it, I am thinking about converting it into a luggage tag.

Liamsaunt, the poached egg...yummm and congrats on the prize, I love it!

Eat? I've barely been able to get out of bed (so sad, so sad)

Actually, I'm planning to make the Bourbon-Maple glazed chicken tomorrow. Went to the grocery store specifically for the chicken - and forgot it

BTW - isn't that Liamsaunt's bowl? Are you having an identity crisis again?

I think mine are a little different but they are Don Schnell's bowls.

Mary Beth,

Can you post or PM me the recipe for the oven jambayala? Thanks a bunch !
