Step 1

Combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar, and yeast in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Add the warm water (the water should feel like warm bath water) and 1/4 cup of melted butter (that isn’t too hot) On low speed, beat the dough ingredients until everything begins to be moistened. For another 4-5 minutes, continue to beat the dough on low until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. * I needed to add a few more tablespoons of warm water to my dough because it was initially too dry.

Step 2

Remove the dough from the bowl and form into a ball. Lightly grease a large mixing bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside, turning it around so that all sides of the dough are coated in the oil. Cover the bowl tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rise in a warm environment for 1-2 hours or until double in size.

Step 3

**I placed my dough on my kitchen table which is near a heat vent. It took 1 1/2 hours for the dough to rise.

Step 4

Once the dough is ready, lightly flour a large work surface. Remove dough from the bowl and punch down the dough to remove any air bubbles and roll the dough into a large 15×12 inch rectangle. Spread 1/4 cup of softened butter on top of the dough.

Step 5

Gently roll the dough towards you and then cut the dough in half. Form the dough into two separate bowls and then place back in the oiled bowl and top with aluminum foil. Place in the fridge for another hour so the dough can rise again.

Step 6

After about an hour in the fridge, the dough balls should have risen and appear puffy. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface, working it into a rectangle.

Step 7

*This recipe makes dough for two Stromboli’s. You can place the dough in the freezer for another time.*

Step 8

1. Sauté mushrooms with salt, pepper and garlic powder in a hot skillet and cook until tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 9

2. Add the Italian sausage and cook in the same skillet Until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 10

3. On a floured surface, roll the dough out into a rectangle.

Step 11

4. Add pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms and then top with fresh mozzarella cheese.

Step 12

5. Tightly roll the Stromboli and fold the ends underneath the roll.

Step 13

6. Brush on a beaten egg and bake on 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 14
