Dough and Filling

Method

Preparation and Baking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add olive oil, salt, and all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix well.

  6. 6

    Roll Out the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about 12x18 inches.

  7. 7

    Add the Filling

    Spread the cheese filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

  8. 8

    Roll the Stromboli

    Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a log shape. Pinch the seams to seal.

  9. 9

    Prepare for Baking

    Transfer the rolled stromboli onto a greased baking sheet. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.

  10. 10

    Bake the Stromboli

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the stromboli for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

  11. 11

    Serve

    Allow the stromboli to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
