Stromboli

Allow frozen bread dough to thaw and rise (or, if you live in such places as China like me that don’t have frozen bread dough, substitute your favorite yeast pizza dough recipe). Spread dough over a large cookie sheet. Mix together egg, oil, parmesan cheese, and dried herbs (of course, if you live in a place where you’re lucky enough to have fresh herbs, those will be wonderful). With a pastry brush, brush approximately half of the egg mixture over all of the dough. Set the other half aside for later.

Down the middle third of the dough, pour your favorite spaghetti/pizza sauce. You likely will not need to use the whole jar/can. Layer on your favorite pizza toppings. My personal favorite combination is fresh grape tomatoes, spinach, and pepperoni. Add shredded mozzarella last, followed by a generous sprinkling of parmesan cheese.

Cut the outside thirds of the dough into 1-inch strips. Tie and knot the opposite strips so they cover the toppings in the middle section of the dough. Brush on the remaining egg mixture and sprinkle with parmesan cheese (because there really is no such thing as too much parmesan cheese).

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes, until the top is a golden brown.
