To celebrate this momentous occasion, I bring you my family's NEW most bestest favoritist freezer meal, STROMBOLI! (It's so good, I had to make up words!)
It is literally oozing yumminess. Literally. |
The best thing to do is to make the topping first. This batch will cover all four Strombolis. This recipe smells like a pizzaria! Here's the topping recipe, from OurBestBites:

Mine looks like this and it's scrumptious. |
1. Stromboli:
1 package provolone
1 bag spinach
2 packs pepperoni
8 cups mozzarella
4 balls of pizza dough. (Author doubled this recipe to make 4 strombolis, see below for buying fresh)
Homemade pizza, all in one cooler! |
Here are the steps you need to repeat for each Stromboli. My notes are after the original directions.
This part always reminds me of Cassandra from Doctor Who |
I layer Mozz, spinach, provolone, then pepperoni. |
Any leftover cheese is fair game for snacking. |
I add a step here. I cut my Stromboli in half because A) it's easier to manage and B) it's just two of us eating dinner and C) it won't fit in my fridge if I don't.
Wrap in plastic wrap and aluminum.
Plastic wrap, THEN aluminum. Not in the order above. |
After I wrap them, I can fit 3 packages into a large Freezer bag, labeled with the baking instructions. I get 8 Stromboli halves in 3 freezer bags.
The only bag where my handwriting looked human. |
My oven heats up REALLY fast, so we do this for each package (half of an original Stromboli): Unwrap fully, place on cookie sheet in oven. Set oven for 175 & heat for about a half hour. Crank heat up to 375 for another 30 minutes and enjoy!
