  • 2 Cups Colby Jack shredded
  • 1 Cup Mild Banana Pepper Rings
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Basil & Oregano minced optional
  • 1 Egg + 1tbsp water egg wash
  • 1 Jar Marinara

Instructions

Stromboli Dough

  • In your Kitchenaid Mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, pour in 1 cup of warm water, 1 tsp of sugar, and sprinkle 1 1/2 tsp of yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Once the yeast has finished proofing, add in 2 tbsp of olive oil, 1/4 cup parmesan, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/4 tsp of garlic powder, 1/8 tsp of pepper, and give the ingredients a quick swirl with the bread hook.
  • Next, add in the 2 3/4 cup of bread flour and the 1/2 tsp of salt. Knead with the bread hook on medium-low speed until the dough comes together and is smooth for around 5 minutes. The dough shouldn't be sticky. If it is add in up to 1/4 cup more bread flour.
  • Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise for 45-60 minutes.

Assemble & Bake

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and lightly grease it.
  • Divide the risen dough into two equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough out into a 13"x6" rectangle. Then place the sliced, fresh mozzarella down first, followed by the pepperoni, banana peppers, fresh herbs, and topped off with Colby jack cheese.
  • Cut 1" slices down both sides. Fold the ends over the top of the filling and criss-cross the side strips over the top of each other all the way down the stromboli, covering the fillings.
  • Mix 1 egg with 1 tbsp of water and egg wash the top of each stromboli. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise for another 30-45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • After this, place the stromboli in the oven on the middle rack and bake at 375 for 20-30 minutes. The stromboli should rise and turn a beautiful golden brown color when it's done baking.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a cutting board. Allow to cool 5-10 minutes, then slice and serve with marinara to dip it in! Enjoy!
