Roll Out Stromboli Dough

The stromboli--a sandwich-like variation of pizza--is rooted in Italian cuisine. Consisting of a "bready" dough, tomato sauce and various fillings, the stromboli is quick and easy to prepare. Learn properly roll out stromboli dough for an even crust.








Instructions


1. Separate chilled dough into equal parts and shape into balls of the same size.


2. Place a ball of dough on a floured surface. Pat the dough evenly with your hand. Flip the dough over and pat it once more. Take a floured rolling pin and work the dough in an even, circular pattern.


3. Stretch the dough into a rectangular shape with your hands. The dough should be approximately one quarter of an inch thick. Season the dough with optional spices before you add toppings.


4. Roll out the remaining dough balls and shape them into rectangles. Add sauce to the dough and leave a one-inch perimeter with no sauce. Place toppings on the sauce and flip the dough so the sides touch. Pinch the sides together to seal the stromboli.
