It doesn't use Italian dough, and instead, it relies on something I seldom use: canned dough from the refrigerator aisle at the grocery store. However, in a moment of weakness, I bought some, and I've used it for various purposes throughout the month. It performed wonderfully here.
Zucchini Stromboli
What You Need:
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp minced fresh basil
- 1 cup shredded zucchini
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- a sprinkling of sea salt
- 1 beaten egg
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Carefully roll out the crescent dough into a rectangle on a sheet of parchment. Pat together all the seams, being sure no seam is visible before moving on.
- Spread the dough with the olive oil, the garlic, and the basil. Now, spread the zucchini and mozzarella over the dough evenly, and sprinkle with salt.
- Fold the longest edges in, then fold one short end in. Now, roll up very tightly, jelly-roll style. Double-check that all the seams are secure.
- Brush the dough with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove and let stand ten minutes before slicing and serving.
Michelle, those look fantastic! Another great way to use up zucchini! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn! And zucchini is comin' out people's ears right about now, too. :) This recipe gets thumbs up from the whole family!
ReplyDeleteEven your cute Picky Eater liked this??? Now THAT is a vote of confidence! It looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThat looks yummy. We don't have frozen bread dough readily available here in the UK. Could I just use my normal bread dough recipe?
ReplyDeleteAny bread dough will work for stromboli, so go ahead and use your own. :) It'll taste better than store-bought, too!
ReplyDeleteMary, I know! Veggies in my picky eater!
This could be the answer to the "what am I gonna do with 5 jumbo zucchini's" question I've been pondering!
ReplyDeleteAnd canned dough?? Michelle, I'm shocked! You're human like the rest of us, too?? Say it isn't so! LOL :) This sounds really good. I might have to break down & get a can o cresent rolls too :)
My goodness this is a wonderful thing! I appreciate your using "canned" dough as the only dough I like to make is for fresh pasta.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh! that looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteBen & I borrowed this recipe for lunch today, we made a stuffed biscuit version (because I had canned biscuits but not crescent rolls). Love it! I'll be posting pics later on.
