To my surprise the process was very easy and I am sure any one can make a great dinner with this simple recipe. Wish to make this stromboli more often:)
Ingredients:
Pizza dough - to make a medium size pizza
Filling:
Spinach - 3 cups (chopped)
kale leaf or any other green- 2 cups (chopped)
red bell pepper- 1/2 cup
olives - 5
olive oil - 1 tbsp
garlic - 2 (crushed)
red chilly flakes - 1 tsp
salt - 1/8 tsp
mozzarella chesse - 1/2 cup
Heat oil in a wok. Fry the garlic and chilly flakes lightly. Now add the chopped vegetables and greens except olives. saute them with salt till they loose the moisture.
Let them cool. Add the cheese, chopped olives . The filling is ready.
Method:
Preheat the oven to 375 deg F.
Divide the dough into two. Take one and flatten the pizza dough to 3/4inch thick rectangle / oval shape.
Grease an aluminum foil and place the base. Spread the above filling leaving 1 cm gap in all the edges.
Gently roll and make a log shape . Place the log such that the seam faces down.
Make slits in the top using a sharp knife.
Spread some cheese (1 tbsp) over the stromboli. (Likewise prepare the next half dough too).
Take out, slice them into 6 inch pieces and serve hot.
Stromboli is ready!
Serving suggestions:
Serve as lunch / dinner with marinara sauce or tomato sauce.
Tips:
The fillings can be done in many ways with cooked meat, vegetables etc.
An egg wash over the stromboli before baking will yield a shiny crust. I didn't do the egg wash part.
