Stromboli

I got this gem out of my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. Mike and I were both skeptical of the ingredients but it turns out to be delicious! It's a combination of flavors you wouldn't expect to go together but they do!

Ingredients:
Olive Oil (just enough to coat a cookie sheet)
flour (also just enough to sprinkle on the cookie sheet)
13.8 oz. store-bought pizza crust
1 Cup shredded mozzarella cheese (I used more than a cup)
4-6 slices of deli ham
4-6 slices of deli turkey
1/4 cup olives (any kind you like - I used black)
1/3 cup chopped sweet bell pepper, any color
1/2 cup fresh baby spinach
1 egg, lightly beaten

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Coat a cookie sheet with the olive oil and sprinkle flour or cornmeal on it, set aside
On a floured and clean (Mike insisted I put the clean part in) surface, carefully roll out the pizza dough to a 13 X 10 inch rectangle. I think it comes out of the package like this but if you are me, you mess it up and end up having to roll it out with a rolling pin.
Sprinkle half the cheese on the dough
Layer the ham on top of the cheese, keeping it about 1/2 inch from the edge of the dough
Layer other half of the cheese on the ham
Next, layer the turkey on,
Then sprkinkle the olives, bell pepper and spinach on top of all of that.
Starting on one of the long ends of the dough, carefully roll it up into a big roll. Pinch the seams and edges together and place on prepared cookie sheet. Brush with the beaten egg and bake 30 minutes.
The directions suggest cutting it in to 2-3 inch pieces but....Mike just cut in half and took half...then came back for more. We ate it with a salad made with the leftover peppers, spinach and cheese with Italian dressing. Yum!
