Two Cheese Stromboli

Pizza dough is one of the most versatile dough recipes that someone can have. There are so many things that can be done with it, sweet or savoury, breads and rolls and what’s great is how simple a basic pizza dough recipe can be 🙂

You can literally do anything with your favourite pizza dough, I mean check out this cheesy goodness! 😉

I’ve previously shared my favourite pizza dough recipe and it’s since been one of my most popular recipes! 🙂

It’s no surprise because this recipe is so simple and can be made quickly when needed.

I used it to make these two cheese strombolis 😉 I love me some stromboli! Actually I love anything that is pizza related 🙂 🙂 as do all members of my family so pizza is always a plus around here ❤

To make these strombolis, prepare your pizza dough and divide into two. Roll each into a long rectangle. Spread sauce onto one side of the rectangle leaving a small border on the edge (picture below). Top with your favourite toppings and cheeses 😉

Take the side that has nothing on it and fold it on top of the sauce and cheese, forming a log and tucking the flap slightly under that small border you left. Try to fold it over the sauce and cheese quite tightly so everything stays secure inside.

Cut small slits across the top of the log using a sharp knife.

Repeat these steps with the second dough ball 🙂

Brush tops with herb butter and bake. Prepare for the most amazing smell to come out of your kitchen! 🙂
