Simple Stromboli

From: Food Network
Serves: 6
Difficulty: Easy
People In The Kitchen: 2
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

2 tubes refrigerated pizza dough (such as pillsbury brand)
2 tbsp corn meal or all purpose flour
1/2lb sliced pepperoni
3/4 lb sliced mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 tsp Italian seasoning blend
2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
16 oz marinara sauce, for dipping

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Break open the tube of dough and remove it from container. Dust your hands and lightly coat the dough with flour or cornmeal the roll out onto work surface. Stretch out dough, gently spreading out the rectangle shape it has been formed into already. Cut the thin rectangular dough into 4 equal pieces, working across the dough: cut it in half and cut each half in half again. Cover each piece of dough with: 2 slices pepperoni and 2 slices cheese. Roll each piece on an angle from corner to corner making a long roll that is thicker in the middle and thinner on each end. Brush rolls with extra-virgin olive oil then mix cheese and seasonings in a small cup, sprinkle and pat the mixture into the dough. Bake until evenly golden, 12 to 14 minutes then serve. If desired, serve with Dipping Sauce.

Reaction: Positive, and they said it was really filling (I agree). The only downside is that this is a gut bomb, heartburn provoking kinda meal :( It was hard to stop eating the Stromboli, but you regretted it for the rest of the night!

Group Size: 6 girls

Group Involvement: 1 person unrolled and cut up the dough, 1 person laid out the fillings, 1 person seasoned the rolls.

Alterations: The original recipe calls for a lot of different meats, but our group is small and there were only enough people to bring a few things.

If I made this again:  I would use trader joes pizza dough, or try to make my own beforehand.
