Super Bowl Pepperoni and Sausage Stromboli

If you ask my kids if they love my homemade rolls, they'll tell you they are simply to die for. If you want my recipe, here it is: Run to your local supermarket and buy some frozen Rhodes Bake and Serve Gourmet Dinner Rolls. Go home, Pam the heck out of your muffin tins, pop two frozen rolls in each little compartment, let them raise, when they're nice and fluffy, throw them in the oven for 15 min at 350. How's that for simple? I don't care what anyone says. They are just as good as homemade. Ok, maybe, sorta, almost. My family loves Rhodes!


Now for something good for Super Bowl Sunday.  


Stromboli originated in 1950 in Philadelphia, at Romano's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria. There, Nazzareno Romano gave it the name, after the movie Stromboli, starring Ingrid Bergman. Now that you know where it came from, get ready for Super Bowl Sunday.


This is a simple thing to make, and it tastes divine.

Ingredients:

• 1 Loaf Rhodes™ Frozen Bread Dough, thawed to room temperature
• ½ c. pizza sauce
• ½ t. dried oregano
• ½ t. dried basil
• 3 oz. sliced pepperoni
• 1 lb. sausage, cooked & drained
• 3 T. chopped onion
• 2 c. grated mozzarella cheese
• 3 T. grated Parmesan cheese
• Sesame seeds, if desired

Method:

Spray counter or board with non-stick cooking spray. Roll dough into a 12x15-inch rectangle. Spread dough with pizza sauce to within 1-inch of edges. Sprinkle sauce with oregano and basil. Layer middle third of dough, vertically, with pepperoni, sausage, onion, and mozzarella cheese. Fold ⅓ of dough over fillings. Repeat with remaining side. Tuck ends under and vent top with a sharp knife. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and sesame seeds, if desired. Place on large sprayed baking sheet. Bake at 350°F 30-35 minutes.
