Celeste's Stromboli.



  1. Thaw frozen bread dough (or pizza), and let rise in sunny place for at least an hour.
  2. Spread out dough on a greased pan.  *I usually use a cookie baking sheet, and put a layer of tin foil on (for easy cleaning).  Coat with cooking spray.
  3.  Do 3 layers of the following through the center of the spread-out dough:
    1. Brush with Olive Oil & Garlic: 3 Tbsp. olive oil with 5 cloves of minced garlic heated in (do this on the stove top--a few minutes on medium low--in advance).
    2. Mozzarella.  *I tend to do the middle layer with Provolone to add another flavor.
    3. Salami.  *I just get this thin sliced form the deli.
  4. With a pizza cutter cut 1-inch strips along the long sides of the open dough.  Fold the dough (top and bottom first; then alternating the side, 1-inch strips, to create the braided effect).
  5. Coat the entire loaf with egg white.  Brush it so that it is all covered, but do not feel the need to use all of the egg white in the process.
  6. Sprinkle with the following:
    1. lots of Oregano
    2. Garlic Salt
    3. Basil
    4. a little Pepper.
  7. Cook at 350-375 degrees for 30-40 minutes.  *A family recipe...I usually go in the middle with 360 degrees for 35 minutes, and watch and add as needed. 
  8. **Once out, I usually press the warm loaf down with a large flat surface (like a big cutting board) to make it more flat, and easier to eat!
