Fridge-Cleaning Stromboli

A friend of mine has been eating a lot of pizza lately and it inspired me to make some stromboli. I had the foresight to pick up some pizza dough at the grocery store but not any mozzarella, or provolone, or other good pizza-type cheese. So this is what I had to work with.

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg. store-bought pizza dough
• Pepperoni
• Salami
• Leftover kielbasa, already cooked
• Slices of Monterey Jack cheese
• Shredded Parmesan cheese
• Store-bought marinara for dipping

Directions:

1. Oil a 12x 17 pan and stretch the pizza dough to fit
2. Lay out half of the toppings lengthwise on the dough. I used chopped kielbasa, about 8 slices of salami, a generous spread of pepperoni slices and 4 slices of monterey jack
3. Fold 1/3 of the dough over the toppings
4. Repeat with the other half of the toppings. With this layer I used the last of a bag of parmesan cheese instead of monterey jack
5. Fold the edge of the dough underneath and press it to seal
6. Coat the top lightly with some olive oil
7. Slice 3 vents in the top to allow the steam out
8. Bake at 450 Degrees for about 20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown
9. Allow to cool, slice and enjoy

Results:
This was really delicious and easy. My husband and I both liked it. It was definitely a bit greasy, but I think that was due to the toppings. If you did cheese and vegetables it would be a leaner entree I'm sure.
