Do-It-Yourself Stromboli

For the dough, use a sweet bread or pizza dough recipe. If you do not have a favorite, try this recipe for New York Style pizza dough

Preheat oven to 375° and prepare a greased cookie sheet. Separate dough in several pieces and roll out into 9X11 rectangles, about 1/2 inch thick. Spread toppings across dough leaving a border to seal the stromboli. Apply a light egg wash and roll into a cylinder. Seal edges firmly.  Place the stromboli on baking sheet and let rise for 20-30 minutes. Cover in an egg wash and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. 

Cool slightly and serve with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese. This is a perfect snack for parties. Prepare dough beforehand and set out fillings before guests arrive.
