plzz post the recipe of stromboli

Ira · Sep 11th, 2008, 06:48 PM

Gals, here is the recipe i used for stromboli (taken from pizzamaniac.com)

1 1/4 c warm water
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp oil
3 c flour (i used Pillsbury bread flour)
1 tsp yeast
Garlic powder, italian seasoning etc (optional)

Mix everything like you normally would for pizza and let rise for a few hours in a warm place.

For the filling: traditionally, stromboli has a filling of salami, provolone and mozzarella. Since we dont have halal salami here, i used mushroom, green olives, jalapenos (everything chopped) and chicken strips that were seasoned and cooked in a bit of oil.

When ready to assemble, i divided the dough in four part and saved 2 of them for later use. Roll out the dough to an oval shape of about 1/8 inch thickness. Now on one of the longer sides, spread some pizza sauce, not a lot though but make sure to keep a border of atleast 1 inch around empty. Now pile on the filling ingredients and top with cheese (i used both mozarella and a bit of strong cheddar). Now from the long side with the filling, start rolling into a log form. Make sure you seal the edges and no filling is peeking out.

Make small slashes on the top in either straight or horizontal lines to let the steam escape. Make sure not you dont cut a lot since the filling can seep out. Brush teh top with some butter and a beaten egg. I only used egg white and mine didnt brown nicely the way i wanted it to. Sprinkle and pat some sesame seeds, poppy seeds and/or some italian seasoning, whatever is availible. Bake at 420 degree preheated oven for about 10-15 mins. Keep watching till the top is nicely browned.

Both of us found the two logs to be a lot for us so we just cut one of them in half and ate as sandwiches. Serve with marinara or ranch dressing on the side if desired.

That's a really good idea Ira, using chicken as stuffing! I always wanted to try it but am not too fond of salami. Thanks for the recipe :-)

Ira - By any chance will you need a nanny for when the baby is born? Cos you know, you being able to cook all this lush food has suddenly made me realise how much I want to become a nanny. A live in nanny. Where all meals are catered for.

Just a thought.

Procedure

Heat oil in a frying pan and when oil is well hot, fry the slices of white bread until it is lightly brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.

Heat milk in a saucepan until it comes to a boil. Add cardamom seeds, sugar and yellow color into milk and cook until milk thickens well. Add rose water essence, mix and remove from heat.

Arrange the fried bread slices in a deep pan or deep tray. Pour milk mixture over the bread slices. Garnish with khoya or ricotta cheese, pistachios and almonds and serve.

I made that a couple of days ago using your recipe and it turned out great! Thanks.

One question. Someone told me to bake the tray after we pour the milk over it. Is that necessary?

i've never made fish before so i'm really proud of how it turned out!
i bought tilapia fillets, then took a pyrex dish, just slightly wet the bottom with olive oil. and put the fillets on top. i sprinkled salt on them on both sides. then i poured a tbsp of melted butter (or you could use olive oil) on each fillet. then i sprinkled cajun seasoning all over them and the juice of half a lemon. i had bought a bunch of asparagus which i washed and then chopped and scatterd all around the fish. i had also bought whole roasted garlic and jalapeno's in oil from the antipasti section of the supermarket and spread those over the fish and asparagus too.
then i just shoved the whole thing into a pre-heated at 375 degree oven and baked for 15 minutes.
i served the fish with roasted cajun potatoes.

delicious AND so healthy!!
i love tilapia! it doesnt taste or smell even remotely "fishy"
