Stromboli
ingredients:
2 (10 ounces) pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
8 oz chopped capicola
6 ounces chopped pepperoni
2 cups Spanish onions, cut into cubes
12 ounces good quality shredded mozzarella cheese
3 ounces old-fashioned provolone, grated
3 ounces extra virgin olive oil
1 minced garlic clove
2 teaspoons chopped parsley
1 sprig of rosemary, coarsely chopped
½ teaspoon ground red pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
Egg wash:
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Take the dough out of the refrigerator and let it rest for three hours or until it reaches room temperature.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 10 x 16 inches. If the dough continues to shrink, leave it for 15 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
Mix olive oil, garlic, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper.
Mix in aged provolone and mozzarella.
Brush the pizza dough with the oil mixture, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
Place half the capicola, pepperoni, and fried onions on the oiled parts of the dough. Add half of the cheese mixture and season with a little salt and pepper.
Brush the edges with egg yolk.
Slowly roll the dough until it forms a log, making sure to fold the edges. Make sure there is a seam at the bottom when transferring the stroopli to a parchment-lined tray or cookie sheet.
Brush the top of the stromboli with the olive oil and garlic mixture, then cut three evenly spaced diagonal slits in the top.
Repeat the process with the dough and other fillings, placing them in a separate tray or biscuit tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Let it rest for five minutes, then cut it and serve with your favorite tomato sauce.
Pizza dough
ingredients:
½2 cup warm water
1 sachet of active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
7 cups all-purpose flour, plus 3 tablespoons for dusting
1½ teaspoon kosher salt
directions:
Preheat oven to 500°F using a pizza stone or cookie sheet on the upper middle rack.
We open the yeast, sugar and water for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
In a large bowl, put the flour and salt, mix them together, then make a well in the middle.
Add olive oil and blooming yeast. Gently mix toward the center with a wooden spoon or spatula until a loose dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a clean, smooth work surface and knead until smooth and springy to the touch, about 10 minutes.
We shape the dough into a ball, cover it with a towel or oiled plastic wrap, and leave it until it doubles in size.
Prick the dough and roll it into a smooth ball. Divide it into 4 equal parts and shape it into smooth, tight balls.
Place two balls on a floured surface and cover them with oiled plastic wrap. Place the other two dough balls in separate oiled bags, then place them in the refrigerator.
Leave the dough balls to rest for 15-20 minutes.
Stretch the dough to form a circle about 10 inches wide.
Place the dough on an upside-down tray or biscuit tray. Top with your favorite sauce, mozzarella and toppings.
Remove the pan from the preheated pizza stone and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Pulled pork

6 lbs. Boneless pork shoulder
Half a cup of French mustard

2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Mix the dry ingredients for the spice rub and reserve.
Remove the pork shoulder from the package, rinse and pat dry.
Rub the pork with mustard and rub the meat with the spice mixture. Let stand for two hours.
Place it in a deep frying pan and add water, honey, and vinegar to it, then gently pour the liquid onto the sides of the meat. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for five hours.
Remove the foil and cook for another 45 minutes. Check if the pork tears easily; If not, cook for an additional 30 minutes at 300°F.
We take it out of the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes. Tear the meat, discarding large pieces of fat but reserving some for flavor and texture.
Pour some of the cooking liquid over the shredded pork for more flavor.
Served with BBQ sauce and coleslaw on a slider bun.
