Week 25: Recipe #3--Broccoli, Tomato, and Mozzarella Stromboli

I'll be honest, I couldn't even remember if I knew what a stromboli was, but it sounded interesting.  I found this on Martha Stewart's website (see link below).  Anything even remotely related to pizza is sure to be a hit in our house, and any time I can slip Lily some broccoli without her knowing it is a good thing.  It was pretty good, although I don't think I got the pizza dough as thin as it should have been; mine were a little breadier than the ones pictured.  Still tasty, though.  I served them with salad and fruit.  Makes 4 servings.

You'll Need:
  • 1 lb. pizza dough, thawed if frozen
  • all-purpose flour, for work surface
  • 1 pkg (1 lb.) frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 c. marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 c. shredded part-skim mozzarella (6 oz.)
  • 2 oz. thinly sliced Genoa salami, chopped
  • 1 Tblsp. olive oil
Preparation:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.   Divide dough into 4 pieces.  On a lightly floured work surface, stretch out each piece, first to a 3-by-4 inch oval, then to a 6-by-8 inch oval (let dough rest briefly if too elastic to work with).
  2. Place broccoli in a strainer, and press to remove excess liquid.  Transfer to a double layer of paper towels, and pat dry.
  3. Dividing evenly, scatter broccoli over dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border.  Sprinkle with garlic, and season with salt and pepper.  Dividing evenly, top with mozzarella, salami, and 1/2 cup marinara.
  4. Starting at a shorter end, roll up each stromboli, and place, seam side down, on baking sheet.  Using the tip of a paring knife, cut two slits in the top of each.  Brush with oil.  Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes.  Serve stromboli with 1/2 cup marinara for dipping.
