Stromboli

Once again, another fabulous recipe I aquired from Bunco a good 3 years ago!  This meal is a great meal to make when you want to bring a meal to another family and keep some for yourselves because it makes two loaves!!!  So actually that is the only time I make this dinner!!! Or if I want to invite people over for dinner.  This might sound weird to most but this pizza stromboli doesn't actually have pizza sauce in it, which is probably why I love it sooo much.   I've always had a hard time finding a pizza sauce that I liked.  This one is  smothered in egg and oregano!! 
You start by splitting your dough into 2 equal parts, and rolling into large rectangles.
 Then you mix your egg and oregano and smother all over both rectangles.

 Add your pepperoni
 mozzarella cheese
 ham
 provolone cheese
 Roll it up and slit holes in the top.
 Bake until golden brown
 Then slice up and serve!!! Yum
Dough:
5 3/4 to 6 1/4 Flour - I always use 1 cup of Whole Wheat flour
1 Pkg. Dry Yeast
2 1/2 Cup Milk
2 T Sugar
1 T Butter
1 tsp Salt
Stromboli:
2 eggs - seperarted
2 T flake Oregano
70 Pepperoni - 1 Package
1 Med Bag Mozzarell Cheese - shredded
8 Deli Ham Slices
8 Provolone Slices

For the Dough, put 3 C flour in a mixing bowl along with your yeast and sugar.  Scald 2 1/2 C milk (Dont get the milk too hot or it will kill the yeast).  When milk is warm enough add 1 T butter and 1 tsp. salt.  Stir until melted together.  Add to flour mixture & stir until blended. (Mix on low speed for approx 2-3 min)  Then using 1/2 cup at a time slowly add in the remaining flour until you get a tacky texture.  Turn out on floured surface and knead for a min.  Let raise for 30-45 min.
Cut dough into 2 equal parts and roll in a rectangle shape.  Take your egg and oregano and mix together well and brush onto the dough.  Next lay out your pepperoni then cover in mozzarella cheese.  Add your ham slices then your slices of provolone.  Roll up like a cinnamon roll (pictured above).  Close the ends.  Do an egg white wash (using 1 egg white and water and stirring quickly until slightly foamy and brushing over the the entire roll.  Sprinkle with flake oregano.  Cut about 4-5 slices on top of loaf to allow the heat to escape while baking.
Spray or grease cookie sheet.  Place loaves on cookie sheet with seams down.  Bake at 375* for about 40 minutes uncovered..
You can make this ahead and freeze in aluminum foil.  Grease foil before you put loaf on it to prevent sticking.  Prior to cooking take out of freezer and allow to thaw.  Bake Uncovered.
