Stromboli / Pepperoni Bread

Serves: 8+ | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 3 hours (includes rise and bake time)

Ingredients

  • A 1lb Package of Better Batter Pizza Crust Mix, prepared as directed on package (cold proof overnight or at room temperature to double in size before using)
  • 3/4 cup parmesan cheese or vegan parmesan
  • 3/4 cup mozzarella, provolone, cheese blend, or vegan cheese of choice
  • 1 1/2+ cups pepperoni (or filling item of your choice)
  • Additional Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour, for dusting the rolling surface
  • Olive or Avocado oil to brush on before baking


Instructions

Make the pizza dough, following instruction on back of 1lb Pizza Mix Crust bag. 

 

Prepare the pan. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

 

Prepare the bread roll. Divide the dough in half

 

Lightly flour the work surface with additional flour and flour a rolling pin.

 

Rolling Pin. Roll half of the dough into a 10×16 rectangle. Keep dough moving by gently rotating it each time you make a pass with the rolling pin, adding a little more flour as you go. 

 

Sprinkle cheese & toppings (pepperoni, veggies, etc) onto the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge.

 

Rolling into log. Starting at a long end, tightly roll the dough into a spiral log. Carefully pinch close the seam and transfer the stromboli seam-side down to the prepared pan. Tuck under the ends.

 

Brush with a little bit of olive oil or avocado oil and Italian seasoning.


Repeat the same process with the remaining other half a dough.

 

Cover with oiled plastic wrap or damp dish towel.

 

Rise. Allow to rise in warm location until doubled in size, about 35-55 minutes.

 

Preheat. While the dough is rising, preheat oven to 375

 

Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown, about 40-45 minutes. Gently tent the stromboli with foil if it is browning too quickly.

Remove from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut 1-inch thick slices and serve immediately.
