Ham and Cheese Stromboli with a Buttery Garlic Crust

Tonight was one of those nights that I was going through the cabinets, unsure of what to make for dinner and the idea for this recipe came to mind.  We love Stromboli here in our house, but the cost gets pretty high ordering out for it; with this recipe I will never have to order out for it again.  Give it a try.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit

Ingredients

- Fresh pizza dough (the recipe I shared on the BBQ chicken pizza blog, this will be enough for 2 medium Strombolis)

- 10 oz of freshly grated whole milk mozzarella (Divided into 2 portions)

- 16 slices of deli ham (I used Market Pantry black forest ham, 8 per Stromboli)

- 1/4 tsp of oregano (per Stromboli)

- 1/4 tsp of garlic powder (per Stromboli)

- 1 1/2 tsp of grated Parmesan cheese (per Stromboli)

- 1 tbsp of butter, melted (per Stromboli)

1) Divide your fresh pizza dough into two equal portions.  On a floured surface roll out your dough, making sure it is flat and even.

2) Sprinkle corn meal on a pizza stone and place your rolled out dough on the pizza stone.  Layer 4 slices of ham one side of the dough, then spread mozzarella cheese on top of the ham, then sprinkle with with oregano, then 4 more slices of ham and lastly mozzarella cheese.

3) Flip the other side of the dough over top of the ham and cheese and seal tightly by rolling the edges over each other.

4) Melt a tbsp of butter and brush the top of the Stromboli with it.  Sprinkle the garlic powder and Parmesan cheese over the top.  Place in your preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

5) Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, then slice and serve with a side of pizza sauce.

There you have it, easy Stromboli right at home.  So save a few bucks and try this recipe for your self.  Let me know what you think and also let me know of any other awesome fillings for the Stromboli that you may have come up with your self.

Enjoy!!
