Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough: Combine all dough ingredients in your bread machine. Use the dough cycle to prepare the dough and allow it to rise in the machine.
-
Knead the Dough: After the dough cycle is complete, turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead in additional flour until it is no longer sticky, smooth, and elastic. This typically takes about 1/2 cup more flour and 5 minutes of kneading.
-
Shape the Dough: Pat the dough out into a large rectangle about 1/2 inch thick, roughly the size of your bread board or cookie sheet.
-
Layer the Fillings: Spread pizza or spaghetti sauce over the middle third of the dough, then sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella over the sauce. Layer on sliced onion, bell pepper, zucchini, black olives, and sliced tomato. Sprinkle minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, and salt over the vegetables. Finally, add the grated parmesan and the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
-
Roll and Seal: Gently lift one side of the dough and fold it over the filling, then repeat with the other side, overlapping slightly in the middle. Pinch the ends closed to seal in the fillings.
-
Transfer and Rise: Carefully transfer the filled Stromboli, seam side down, to a large greased cookie sheet. Cover and let it rise for 30 minutes.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Brush the top of the Stromboli lightly with olive oil, then bake in the preheated oven for 30-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
-
Serve: Allow the Stromboli to cool slightly before cutting into slices. Enjoy this delicious meal hot out of the oven, and savor the flavors of Italy in every bite!
