Fallen Souffle

I am usually not a fan of “convenience foods,” many time they are full of things bad for you and frankly I just like the satisfaction of making something completely from scratch (I know-I am a nerd) But one thing that I make sure to always have in my freezer is frozen bread dough. I have used this product for pizza, pretzels, calzones and I really want to make cinnamon rolls with them.

So this post is really geared towards my Mom because it is kinda hard to explain over the phone how to make these so I have included a step by step tutorial on how to make this yummy treat. Evan and I eat one of these for dinner but it would also be great for a party or snack.

Step 1. Defrost two loaves of frozen white bread dough on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with oil. Cover the loaves with plastic wrap that has also been sprayed. Take this out in the morning and it will be good to go for dinner.

Step 2: Smoosh the two loaves together and spread them out to about the size of your cookie sheet, making sure you have a nice rectangle.

Step 3: Layer in the good stuff. I like to start with a sprinkling of garlic powder and Italian seasonings. I then layer prosciutto, good provolone, salami and then mozzarella. I would make sure to get good quality meats and cheeses because they tend to have less water in them, I have made many soggy strombolis with cheap meat and cheese. I tend to stick to the drier meats anyways. You could also put spinach in, really whatever you like.

Step 4: Bring the sides of the dough to the center and pinch together. Pinch the ends together as well. Something important to mention is to not wet the dough because it will not stick together. Just pinch it almost like a pie crust

Step 5: Carefully flip the whole thing over so it is seam side down. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes or so until golden on top and done on the bottom.

Step 6: Once removed from the oven I like to brush the top with garlic butter and maybe a sprinkling of parmesan cheese.

Step 7: Enjoy! We like to slice 1-inch thick pieces and dip them into warmed marinara…yum!
