Stromboli Bread

Our family loves eating this bread as an alternative to regular sandwiches. Serve some greens with it and you’re all set. Double the recipe if needed, it goes fast!

1 one pound loaf frozen bread dough, thawed per package directions
5 Tbsp. softened butter
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. seasoned salt
8 thinly sliced pieces of pepperoni (from Deli Dept.)
8 thinly sliced pieces of provolone cheese

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, take out a large, rimmed, baking sheet and line with either foil or parchment paper then set aside.

Combine the butter and spices in a small bowl. On a floured surface, roll the bread dough into the largest rectangle you can – if it becomes too difficult to roll out, let it rest for about 5 minutes, then try again. You’re aiming for about a 15 x 10 inch rectangle.

Spread the seasoned butter mixture over the rolled out dough, then arrange the pepperoni & cheese on top. Starting at the longer side, roll up the dough, pinch ends to seal, then place on the baking sheet seem side down, gently press down on loaf with your hands to flaten it slightly. Bake until browned, about 30 minutes. Let stand for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.
