Recipe
Today we’re going to make delicious chicken stromboli. If you’re already a bit acquainted with Italian cuisine, you may mistake this meal for calzone. Although those two look quite similar, the recipes are still very different. When cooking stromboli we use square-shaped pizza dough which is later rolled into a log. Calzone recipe on the other hand uses a round-shaped dough which later you should fold in half.
The list of ingredients for stromboli recipe is adjustable, which makes it a perfect meal, if you have various leftover food in the fridge. Use your imagination and experiment with combinations of toppings. To make the preparation quicker, you can use store-bought dough and marinara sauce or, if you have some spare time, make them at home.

Flour the work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a square shape about 11x13 inches (28x33 cm) in size. Rolling out is easier, if the dough is room temperature. |

In a little bowl combine the shredded chicken with Parmesan cheese and ½ cup (130 g) of marinara sauce. (Leave the rest of the sauce for dipping.) |

Starting 1 inch from the top of the dough, make ½-inch (1 ½ cm) cuts from the center toward the edges. Fold the top part of the dough over. Braid the dough strips across the center. Cut off the excess dough and tuck the two end pieces underneath the pastry. (Feel free to cut off any excess dough as long as the filling is sealed.) Place the stromboli onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. |

Brush the top of the dough with olive oil, top off with Parmesan. Put in the oven preheated to 375 °F (190 °C) for around 25 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove the stromboli from the oven, move it to a rack and leave for 10 minutes. Cut and serve. |
Serve this mouth-watering pastry as a snack, main course with various side dishes, or pack it as a lunch for work or school, it’s really convenient! We hope you’ll add today’s article to your Italian recipe collection and come back to this tasty stromboli again and again.

This design is incredible! You definitely know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!|

Excellent, what a weblog it is! This website provides valuable information to us, keep it up.|
Oh my goodness! Awesome article dude! Many thanks, However I am experiencing issues with your RSS. I don’t understand why I can’t subscribe to it. Is there anyone else getting the same RSS problems? Anyone that knows the solution will you kindly respond? Thanks!!|
Whats up are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my own. Do you require any html coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!|

An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a friend who has been doing a little homework on this.
And he actually bought me dinner because I stumbled upon it for him…
lol. So let me reword this…. Thanks for the meal!!
But yeah, thanx for spending some time to talk
about this issue here on your web site.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time
choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
