Leonetti's Handmade Stromboli
What it is
This is a pre-made, baked stromboli, a type of Italian turnover. It is typically made with pizza dough that is filled with cheese and sometimes meats or vegetables, then folded over and baked until golden brown. This particular item is ready to be heated and served, offering a convenient way to enjoy a classic Italian-American dish.
How people cook with it
Stromboli is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a hearty snack. It pairs well with a variety of dipping sauces.
- Serve warm as a main dish.
- Cut into slices for appetizers.
- Enjoy with marinara sauce.
- Pack for a satisfying lunch.
To enjoy this handmade stromboli, preheat your oven to the temperature recommended on the packaging, usually around 350-375°F (175-190°C). Place the stromboli directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 15-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is heated through. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving. It is best served warm.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike a calzone, which is typically half-moon shaped and often has ricotta cheese, a stromboli is usually rolled into a log shape and does not contain ricotta. The dough is also often a bit more like pizza dough, resulting in a chewier crust.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and satisfying Italian-inspired meal or appetizer.
How to keep the rest
After baking, store any leftover stromboli tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven or a toaster oven for best results.
