HEY CHUCK - stromboli question

mad max beyond eggdome

chuck,[p]sydney and i are going to make stromboli tomorrow. . plan on making the dough tonight. . .[p]one question though that i didn't get from you postings. ..do you put any flour or anything on the pizza stone before you put the strombolis on?. . .or is there enough loose flour on them already to keep them from sticking?. ..[p]thanks in advance for the response. ..[p]btw, besides making your standard one with peperoni. . .since my wife is alergic to garlic and doesn't like pepperoni, we are going to make one that is simply brushed with olive oil, the cheese and a mushroom/pepper/onion combination. ..i will let you know how that one turns out. ..[p]thx[p]max

mad max beyond eggdome,[p]I hope they come out good for you. [p]I put some flour on the peel and the dough ball before forming the dough. Actually I just drop the dough into my flour container and shake off the excess. Flour on the stone isn't necessary.[p]Another thing I forgot to mention. Don't worry if ot leaks a little cheese and even a little oil , it happens. Sometimes it opens up a bit as it stretches.[p]I have done them with several ingredients. The mushroom one you mention will be good. Saute the mushrooms first or you will get too much moisture from them. I also like one with cheese, basil and roasted peppers. Hmm maybe some prosciutto would be good with that one. Sound familiar?[p]Let me know how they turn out and have a great weekend.[p]Say hi to Sydney or Spawn.[p]Chuck

mad max beyond eggdome,
In general, dough won't stick to a properly heated stone, assuming no goodies bubble out. Dough will stick to a peal, of course, and there the cornmeal helps out.[p]TNW

The Naked Whiz,
thanks for the stone tip. ..i haven't tried much on the stone (did some frozen pizzas with good success, but never seem to have the time to do it up right) so i appreciate the tip. .. .[p]btw, thanks again for forwarding the picture yesterday. .already got it printed out on good paper and framed. .

You didn't say whether or not you "vented" the dough, Chuck. Once you form the strombolis, make 3 or 4 diagonal gashes on the side that is away from the stone. This allows steam to escape and should prevent any leakage.[p]Jim

mad max beyond eggdome,
You are quite welcome. I just wonder why Stumpbaby hasn't asked for an autographed framed copy of that really cool shot of him from the side.....[p]TNW
