Tasty Tuesday–Stromboli

This is one of our family’s favorite recipes, and Turkey’s go-to when he picks his birthday dinner.

  • 3 loaves Rhodes bread dough, thawed
  • Dried basil
  • 20 slices deli ham
  • 24 slices deli Genoa salami
  • 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 375.

Split bread dough in two equal portions. Roll each out in a rectangle, about 15×10 inches. Sprinkle each with basil, then top each with half of the ham, salami, and mozzarella. Roll each from the long side; pinch closed. Place each seam side down on a baking sheet; rub with olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until bread is golden-brown. Let stand five minutes before slicing.
