Viewed: 35 - Published at: a year agoIngredients
- 28 ounces pizza dough (approximately two can of Pillsbury or any brand refrigerated dough, or even frozen dough)
- 1 red pepper, cut in in thin strips
- 1 green pepper, cut in thin strips
- 1 1/2 lbs mushrooms (I prefer crimini, but button will work fine, thick sliced and roasted)
- 1 Japanese eggplant, cut lengthwise diced
- 1 medium white onion, cut in half sliced
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
- 6 ounces parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste, I like to use a bit more)
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil (plus a little extra to brush on the crust to bake)
Method
- Vegetables -- Mix all vegetables with the olive oil, salt and pepper, dried oregano, red pepper flakes and roast in a 375F oven. Roast for 20 minutes. Just until the vegetables begin to brown and they are tender. Remove and let cool. Then mix in the fresh basil and parsley.
- Pizza dough -- roll out into 2 large rectangles about 18x12. I just roll mine on the counter with a little corn meal or flour on the counter so it doesn't stick.
- Make the sandwiches -- Spread the vegetables over the two pizza crusts. Make sure to leave a 1" border around all sides. Top with the Parmesan and mozzarella and roll up. You are just making a log.
- Baking -- I like to bake mine on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper so it doesn't stick. Make sure you slice 4 slices in the top of the stromboli before cooking and to brush with olive oil to make a golden brown crust. Bake at 400F for 30 minutes until golden brown and a light crunchy crust.
- Let the stromboli rest a few minutes (5 minutes) before slicing. I cut each stromboli into 4 pieces. If you want, serve with some marinara on the side. Just enjoy!
- Make a nice soup or salad and this is a great hearty dinner.
