Stromboli

Stromboli

Stromboli is one of my new discoveries in just the last few months. My friend Megan introduced me to it. The general idea is a hot baked sandwich. You will need:

Garlic Salt
Parsley
Butter
1 Rhodes Frozen White or Wheat Bread Loaf
1 Package of Deli Meat of your choice (I like to use Ham or Turkey or some Pepperoni with marina sauce)
1-2 Cups of Grated or Sliced Cheese (Pick some kind that goes well with our deli meat like Ham and Swiss of Turkey and Cheddar)

Take the Frozen Bread Loaf out of the freezer 5 to 8 hours before you want to start making dinner, take a cookie sheet and spray it with non stick spray, place the loaf on the sheet and cover the sheet and load with plastic wrap. Place in a warm area of your kitchen. In the 5-8 you allow it to defrost the loaf should be close to double in size.

When your ready to make dinner roll the loaf out to make a rectangle close to the size of your cookie sheet, spread butter on the entire top side except for one of the longer ends, sprinkle the garlic salt and parsley on top of the buttered bread. Next layer the Deli meat, then the cheese. Roll the loaf like a cinnamon roll, tuck the ends under themselves and then place on the cookie sheet. Bake for 30-45 min until golden brown. Allow the Stromboli to sit for 5 minutes before slicing width wise with a bread knife.

This is my very first attempt to write a recipe. Please let me know what you think, if you have any questions, etc. I hope you enjoy it!
