Barbecued Stromboli

Ingredients

• 1 lb bread dough, recipe for one loaf bread
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
• garlic powder
• onion powder
• italian seasoning or basil (I use Pasta Sprinkle)
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (more or less to taste)
• 1 (16 ounce) package pepperoni slices (you won't use the whole package)
• 1/2-1 cup mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (or to taste)

Directions

1. 1

   You can use homemade bread dough or frozen bread dough that's been thawed. Roll out bread dough to make a rectangle: roughly 18-20" x 10-12" - dough should be thin.

2. 2

   Melt butter and spread on dough.

3. 3

   Sprinkle garlic & onion powder, Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese over entire surface in the given order.

4. 4

   Either spread the BBQ sauce over the entire dough or spread it down the middle, whatever your preference.

5. 5

   Lay the pepperoni the width (long side) of the dough in 2-3 rows.

6. 6

   Place shredded Mozzarella cheese on top of those layers (be careful not to do it too thick or it will 'run out' while baking).

7. 7

   Roll up like you would for cinnamon rolls, sealing edges.

8. 8

   Place seam side down on a cookie sheet lined w/parchment paper.

9. 9

   Let dough rise 45 minutes before baking.

10. 10

    Cut small slits in the top to vent.

11. 11

    You may also brush top with butter and sprinkle w/parmesan cheese if so desired.

12. 12

    Bake at 350° F for 25 minutes. Time depends on your oven. If taken out too soon, it will be doughy in the middle-outside should be a dark (not burned) golden brown color.
