Ham and Cheese Stromboli

Mommabird's Ham and Cheese Stromboli Recipes

Dough:

1 and 1/8 c. warm water

1 Tbsp. yeast

2 Tbsp. sugar

2 Tbsp. oil

1 tsp. salt

1/3 c. powdered milk

3 c. all purpose flour

extra flour in case needed to make a smooth non-sticky dough

Mix together and knead until smooth and elastic. Coat with oil and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk. Punch down and divide in half. Roll each half into a good sized rectangle (mine are generally about 14 x 11 I think)

Cheese sauce:

1 cup of shredded cheese (I use a colbyjack blend since we like that here but cheddar is great too)

1/4 cup of mayonaise

1 tsp. of mustard

1 tsp. paprika

Mix together. It will be dry and not seem like there is enough mayo. Do not be tempted to add more.

Lay sliced ham longways on the dough and spread with cheese sauce. I used sliced ham from the deli (it was on sale) and used 6 pieces of ham per stromboli.

Roll up down longside to long side. You want the seam to end up on bottom. Seal ends and turn under. Bake at 375 for approx. 15-20 min. until dough is starting to turn a light golden color. Remove from oven, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and return to oven for 5 more minutes. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, slice into pieces and serve. YUM.

This recipe makes 2 good sized stromboli's and will feed our family of 7 with no leftovers.
