Stromboli

[iceman]

I was playing around with some Caputto pizza flour this weekend and came up with a Stromboli that turned out real good. I made four but they only lasted a couple of hours. I put oregano and basil in the dough to add flavor. Inside was fresh mozz. and four different sausages from Italy. :P Good Stuff!!! ;D

YES, I'll take 2 as a $5.99 combo special with Coors light and chips, delivered for $1.00 more in 30 minutes or less and guaranteed fresh and hot! ;D

LOOKS MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

O.K. Iceman, you say you are from Alaska, but I'm thinking that is fake address, you're actually in Italy.
Lookin' good.

Very nice... why not post a step by step how to....?

I second the motion.  Looks like something I'd like to try to make.  Be sure to include ingredients too. :D

Wondering about pulled pork filling doused with Iceman's sauce. Add some diced onions perhaps? Maybe a little green bell pepper? Some Jack cheese? Just a thought.

[Wildcat]

His sauce is good on just about anything. :)

I don't know how I missed this post, and hope its not too late.   I got to ask: four kinds of Italian sausage.  Help this paisan out.  Homemade or storebought?  What types?  Gotta live vicariously now-- not too many opportunities for italian sausage where I live now (unless supermarket types suffice) although there's an ample assortment of linguica or potato sausage.   I miss the Italian, though, and your meal looked too good to pass without comment.

There is a meat market in North Beach, San Francisco (Little City on Stockton) that makes all kinds of Italian sausage.  Used to buy there frequently and never a bad link yet.

Hey there Consiglieri;
I use both home made and purchased ingredients in the stromboli. I preffer home made but sometimes time doesn't permit this.
I buy my Italian foods wholesale from Merlino Foods, an importer in Seattle and have it shipped up to Alaska.
I like to use the following:
Molinari Pepperoni, Citterio Smoked Prosciutto,Molinari Finocchiana Salame, Salami Artisan Hot Sopressata, Iserina Hot Italian-Bulk, Castelli Mozzarela Di Bufala, Belegioso Parmesan, and Grande Sopraffina Ricotta.
I use the Caputo 00 Farina "Ideal for Pizza" flour and add seasonings to it.
You have to use the right flours to achieve a good crust for either a pie or calzone or stromboli.
When I baked the strombolies I brush the shell with egg yolk wash to get a nice color and glaze on it.
The oven and bricks or stones have to be good and hot well in advance to bake properly.
I say play with what ever quality ingredients you like and just have fun! ;D :D ;)
