Stromboli Question?!
Stromboli Question?
when making home made stromboli should i use the big pepperoni and big cheese slices ( like mozeral) or could i use grated cheese and small pepperoni?
Answers:
I would recommend using small pepperoni with big cheese slices. Based on a recent food network show I saw, that is the more traditional way. Also, using the big slices helps the cheese to spread more evenly.
Good luck!
It doesn't matter. If you are speaking about fresh mozz when you say sliced I would stay away from that, there's too much water and might make your stomboli soggy.
It doesn't matter just so it fits inside the dough and is well sealed. The cheese will melt anyway and if you want to chop the pepperoni a bit it will be easier to cut the sandwich.
It's up to you, either will work. I'd go with sliced cheese and the big/sandwich pepperoni -- it'll fill your Stromboli better.
It doesn't matter. You can use either one. Your going to flatten the dough and layer the cheese and pepperoni on top, then roll up. After it bakes you'll be cutting it off in slices. So really it makes no difference. Use whatever you have. You could put anything inside, imagine what they would do in an Italian home. They'd fill it with whatever was fresh and in the pantry that day, lightly steamed or saute'd vegetables, any kind of lunchmeat and cheese. Enjoy.
