Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Spread
- 1 loaf Rhodes Frozen White Bread, thawed
- â…“ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Vegetables and Fillings
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- ½ cup green bell pepper, diced
- ½ cup onion, diced
- ½ cup mushrooms, sliced
- Deli roast beef slices (enough to cover dough surface)
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Toppings
- â…› teaspoon garlic salt
- â…› teaspoon sesame seeds
- â…› teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Thaw Dough: Thaw frozen bread dough according to package instructions until doubled in size, preparing it for rolling and filling.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat, then sauté the diced green bell pepper, onion, and sliced mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
- Roll Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the risen dough into a 12 by 18 inch rectangle, creating a base for the stromboli fillings.
- Prepare the Spread: Combine mayonnaise with garlic powder and spread evenly across the dough, leaving a half-inch border around the edges free of spread for sealing.
- Layer Fillings: Arrange deli roast beef slices evenly over the mayonnaise layer. Next, distribute the sautéed vegetables over the beef, then place the provolone cheese slices on top of the vegetables.
- Roll Stromboli: Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly jelly-roll style, tucking in the fillings as you go. Pinch the seam and the ends firmly to seal the stromboli completely.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and brush it over the top of the stromboli. Sprinkle garlic salt, sesame seeds, and dried parsley evenly on top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Remove from oven and allow the stromboli to rest for 5 minutes before slicing with a serrated knife. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Make sure the dough is well thawed and has doubled in size for best texture.
- Sautéed vegetables add flavor and moisture; be sure not to overcook them to maintain some texture.
- The mayonnaise spread adds moisture and flavor but can be substituted for something lighter like mustard if desired.
- Seal the stromboli tightly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Use a thermometer to ensure the stromboli reaches safe internal temperature.
- Allow the stromboli to rest before slicing to help the filling set and avoid spills.
