Stromboli

I love to try new recipes, especially those that are "tried and true" and come recommended by friends! Here is one of our favorites that we had last night.

Dough:
1 cup water
2 T. butter, softened
1 egg
3 cups bread flour (If it is rainy or especially humid, I'll add an extra tablespoon of flour.)
1/4 cup sugar
1 t. salt
3 t. yeast (I use the kind that comes in a jar and says "for bread machines"!)

Other:
1 egg, beaten
8 oz. mozzarella cheese
toppings of choice
pizza sauce for dipping

Put ingredients into bread machine in the order listed and set your machine to the dough cycle. When done, remove dough and divide into two pieces. Prepare your countertop and rolling pin with oil or flour. Roll one piece of dough at a time into a rectangle. Coat top of rolled out dough with part of a beaten egg, sprinkle with cheese, and then add your toppings. Starting with a long end, roll up the dough and place seam side down on a greased cookie sheet. Pinch any seams closed and coat top of the roll with more egg mixture.
Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Cool slightly and slice. Serve with pizza sauce. Serves between 4 and 6 hungry eaters.
* We like ours with veggies like green pepper, onion and mushrooms. I've found that it works best to saute these veggies first before putting them in the stromboli.
