Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (no-salt-added)
- 8 slices Low-sodium turkey or chicken ham slices
- 1.5 cups Part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Roasted red peppers
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes bubbly.
Add olive oil and 1 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning to the yeast mixture. Gradually add 3 cups of flour, mixing continuously until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes, adding the remaining flour as necessary, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle measuring approximately 12x18 inches.
Layer the low-sodium turkey or chicken ham slices evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the ham, followed by roasted red peppers, fresh spinach, and sliced red onion.
Gently roll the dough into a log, starting with the long side, tucking the ends under to seal the stromboli.
Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Make several slits on top to allow steam to escape during baking.
Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash and brush it over the stromboli to give it a golden color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the stromboli to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into 6 pieces. Serve warm.
