Recipe Thursday

This week's recipe has become a new favorite very quickly. The history of this meal stems back to some good times hanging out at my favorite teacher's house from high school, Mrs. Domerese (although she was never really my teacher). Mrs. D invited me, and perhaps Dan, over to her house to enjoy this good meal and to laugh at some good movies or to listen to her husband, Ken, tell us some funny stories. Those are good memories. There was something about their home and their company that was intoxicating. So after this little stroll down memory lane I now bring you today's recipe...Stromboli. This can probably realistically serve 3-4 people, although I ate the entire thing a few nights ago. It's the ideal meal for me, Monica, and Addie.

Ingredients
Frozen Bread Dough (I bought a 3-pack of Rhodes frozen bread dough)
Pizza Sauce (I used Prego original)
Your choice of toppings
Mozzarella Cheese
Pizza Seasoning or Oregano (optional)

Directions

• Set out dough to rise per instructions on bag. For the Rhodes bread dough I've found that 8 hours is perfect.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Roll out bread dough in the shape of a circle (or rectangle). Add sauce, toppings, and cheese to the center of the circle. Be sure to keep the sauce at least 1" away from the edge of the dough. Fold over the dough and pinch it closed (it may help to get your fingers wet when you do this as it helps to close the dough). You want to form a tight seal so that the sauce and cheese don't come out the sides when baking.
• Tear a few small strips on the top of stromboli to allow it to breathe.
• Place on baking sheet and cook for 30 minutes or so. I also brushed on a little olive oil.
