Turn Your Pizza Into Stromboli

Football season = snacking season, and Stromboli is the GOAT. [logo]( [hero]( [Rossi Anastopoulo]( Blog Editor We’re halfway through the NFL playoffs, when games get higher stakes and the chaos culminates in the ultimate prize: the Super Bowl (aka the best finger food day of the year). It’s also the time of year when people who don’t know a quarterback from a nickelback are roped into watching football, so it’s important to make it worthwhile for everyone with snacks. But not just any snacks: Just as playoff football is an extra-special version of the everyday sport, watching it is an occasion for an extra-special incarnation of pizza: Stromboli. Stromboli is like if you turned pizza into a party sub, or a calzone into a crowd-friendly centerpiece. The crust envelops a warm filling of melty cheese and piping hot meat (or veggies!) and because the crust makes up so much of the dish, it’s important to nail it. But don’t worry — Pizza School’s got you covered. This week's assignment Say yes to the Stromboli by making one from our classic Neapolitan pizza dough. [Get the recipe]( 1. Great foldability starts with great flour We’re using our Neapolitan-Style Pizza Dough as the base for this Stromboli crust. It calls for ‘00’ Pizza Flour, which provides the right amount of strength and stretch for easy-to-shape dough — extra important here, since we’ll be folding the dough over the fillings to make that classic Stromboli shape. [00 Pizza Flour]( [Get the Bag]( [hero]( 2. Square things up Once your dough is ready for shaping, it’s time to deviate from the traditional pizza route. Instead of a circle, divide the dough into 2 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a rectangle roughly 4 " by 6", then let rest for 10 to 15 minutes (or chill covered for up to 8 hours). Using a [rolling pin]( and a generous amount of flour or [semolina](, roll each piece into a square, roughly 11 " by 11". Now you’re ready to fill. [hero]( 3. Signed, sealed, and baked Stromboli are classically filled with cheese and either meat or vegetables. Working with one piece of dough at a time, add fillings in the middle third of the square, and leave a 2" border at the edge of the dough. Fold the dough like a letter: Bring the top third down, covering the ingredients, then repeat with the remaining portion. Press to flatten and remove any air pockets. Invert the stromboli and roll each open end towards the center to close the opening. Cut a steam vent, brush with an egg wash, and press the ends with a fork to seal. Bake until golden brown on a preheated baking stone or [steel]( at 475°F for 15 to 20 minutes. For best color, broil briefly towards the end of baking. Slice in half (check out that melty cheese) and serve with sauce — stromboli (and Super Bowl parties) are better with a dip. [hero]( Now go celebrate (or commiserate) the playoffs with pizza. I promise it will be delicious, win or lose.
