Strombolis and Salad

This one takes a bit of work, but they're really yummy! Allow for thawing/rising the dough early in the day, and then about an hour to assemble and bake before you want to eat.

Prep:

1) There are instructions on the package for thawing methods, but I'm usually trying to do it quickly as follows: Spray a loaf pan, place dough in pan. Preheat oven to 200, then turn off. Boil 1-2 quarts water, pour in a shallow pan placed on the lowest oven rack. Place dough in the warm oven. Let rise 2-4 hours until 1 inch above pan.

2) Preheat oven to 350.

3) Roll out dough on floured surface to a large rectangle and cut in half. Each half will make 1 stromboli.

4) Beat the egg and mix with oregano. Brush over dough.

5) Layer ham, pepperoni, tomato slices, and cheeses over half of each stromboli.

6) Fold over the other half of the dough and pinch the sides to close the pouch.

7) Brush the top with more egg and place strombolis on a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.

8) Bake about 30 minutes (until golden brown and cheese melted inside).

9) Serve with pizza sauce for dipping.
