First, I'll start by saying that although this was very tasty (and Eric agrees) next time I make this or (any other stromboli for that matter), I will be finding a new recipe for the dough. This was a pain to mix, knead, and then roll. Secondly, I should also note that I am a huge cheese lover so when a recipe calls for 3/4 c of cheese, I assume that should mean 1 1/2 c of cheese. So if you are not as much of a cheese lover as I am, please make adjustments accordingly to all of my recipes :).
Dough:
3/4 c warm water (110 F)
1 tsp dry active yeast
1 tbsp vegetable oil
4 tbsp milk
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 c yellow cornmeal
2 1/4 c bread flour
1-2 tbsp water
Filling:
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 yellow pepper, seeded and finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp EVOO
1 1/2 c cooked chicken, chopped
3/4 c salsa
1/2 c black beans, washed and drained
1 1/2 c Mexican shredded cheese
3/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp oregano
Egg wash:
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp water
In large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let sit for 10 minutes. Add oil, milk, sugar, salt, and cornmeal-mix. Slowly add in bread flour, mixing as much as possible in bowl. With floured hands on a floured surface, begin to knead the dough. Add 1-2 tbsp water as necessary to make dough more pliable. Cover in cling wrap and let sit on a floured surface for about an hour.
15-20 minutes before the dough is done resting, begin preparing the filling. In a large skillet, heat EVOO over medium heat. Add pepper, onion, and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes over medium heat. Add salsa, chicken, and beans. Add seasonings-mix well. Turn heat down to low and heat through for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add half of cheese.
On a floured surface, begin rolling out dough with a floured rolling pin. Roll dough out to about 14 in by 12 in. (The original recipe that I went off said to roll the dough out to a rectangle. If anyone is able to pull this off, I applaud you. Mine was an oval Again, this dough was a pain to handle). Place dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle rest of cheese over 1/2 of the dough. Spread filling over 1/2 of the dough with the cheese, going within 1/2 in of the edge. Brush edges of dough with egg wash. Fold dough over the filling. Pinch seams to seal. Brush stromboli with egg wash. Cut a few slits into top. Bake 25-30 minutes until top begins to brown. Let sit for 5 minutes after cooking. Serve with sour cream.
