Me: I mean its pizza rolled up why would it not be good!

Hubs: "Wow this is pretty good, I wish I hadn't eaten lunch so late"

Kids: "Mommy it tastes just like pizza, I love it"



Ingredients:

1 ball Publix pizza dough

1 package large sliced pepperoni

1 package large sliced salami

1 2 cup bag mozzarella cheese shredded

1 cup ricotta

1/2 cup pizza sauce

1/2 stick melted butter

Garlic Salt

Italian Seasoning

Steps:

1. Let dough rest on counter top for an hour. Sprinkle a little flour on your counter top. Roll out dough flat into the biggest circle/ rectangle you can form. Trust me it won't get very big.

2. Spread pizza sauce evenly over dough leaving about an inch around.

3. Spread the ricotta cheese over the sauce, then sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella on top.

4. layer up the meats, but make sure to spread then all over, don't pile them all in the middle.

5. Top with remaining mozzarella and sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic salt on top.

6. Take one side of the "pizza" and start to roll it towards the other like a jelly roll. Roll it as tight as you can without squeezing out any of the filling. Pinch the ends when finished and transfer to a  sprayed cookie sheet or pizza stone.

7. Melt butter with Garlic Salt and Italian seasoning and brush over dough covering as much as you can.

8. Bake for 30 minutes on 400, then reduce heat to 325 and continue to cook for 15 minutes. The center will still be a little "moist", but as long as its not gummy in texture it will be ready to eat.

Tips:

* I bought the pepperoni and salami at the dollar store! It was the Hormel brand. At Publix it was $4.99!!!!

* I re buttered the Stromboli before I stuck it back in to cook for the last 15 minutes.

Doesn't this look amazing!
