Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mix 1 cup of the swiss cheese with the string cheese.
- Lightly brush a baking sheet with olive oil. Unroll the dough, cut in half to make two 6-by-9-inch pieces and place on the prepared pan.
- Spread half of the mixed cheese along one long side of each rectangle, leaving an inch border between the cheese and dough edge. Top each mound of cheese with half of the basil, a quarter of the olives, 1/4 cup tomato sauce and a third of the mortadella. Fold the dough over the filling lengthwise, pressing the edges to seal. Make slits in the top of the dough to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake the stromboli until brown, about 15 minutes; remove from the oven. Brush each with olive oil, then scatter the remaining olives, mortadella and cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese melts and the crust is golden. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Steps:
- Tip the flour into a large bowl, then stir in the yeast and 1 tsp salt. Pour in 250ml warm water and the olive oil, and bring together with a wooden spoon to make a soft dough. Tip onto a surface and knead for 10 mins until smooth. Put the dough back in the bowl, cover with a tea towel and set aside for 40 mins or until doubled in size.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle roughly 35 x 20cm. Layer over the salami (leaving a bit of a border), then scatter over the mozzarella and finally the basil leaves. Tuck the shorter edges in and roll the whole thing up like a swiss roll. Will keep frozen, tightly wrapped in foil, for up to one month. Can either be defrosted and baked, or baked from frozen (see step 3).
- Leave the loaf to rest for 20 mins on a baking tray. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 200C/180C/gas 6. Brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 40 mins until puffed up and golden. If cooking from frozen, bake for 1 hr. Leave to cool for 10 mins before slicing and serving with salad.

Steps:
- For the Dough: Pulse the flour, yeast and salt in a food processor (use dough blade if possible), to combine. While the food processor continues running, add the oil and water through the feed tube and process until the dough is formed into a ball form, about 30 to 40 seconds. Let the dough rest in the bowl for 2 minutes then process for 30 seconds longer.
- Turn the dough into lightly floured surface and knead by hand to form a smooth, round ball, about 5 minutes, adding additional flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
- Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees. Gently deflate the dough with your fist and turn it out onto a unfloured work surface. Gently reshape the dough into a ball and cover with a plastic wrap lightly sprayed with vegetable oil spray. Let the dough rest 15 minutes, but no more than 30 minutes.
- For the Stromboli: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Press and roll the dough into a 12 by 10-inch rectangle with the long side facing you. Layer the meat and provolone over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border at all of the edges. Top with the peppers and Parmesan.
- Brush the edges of the dough with some of the egg wash. Starting from a long side, roll the dough tightly into a long cylinder, using the parchment paper to lift and roll the dough. Pinch the seam and ends to seal and roll the stromboli back into the center of the parchment paper, seam side down. Transfer the stromboli on the parchment paper to a baking sheet.
- Brush the dough all over with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Cover loosely with lightly greased aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the crust is golden, about 25 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking. (Keep an eye on the baking time to make sure it doesn't over cook!).
- Transfer the stromboli to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, slice into 2-inch-wide pieces and serve warm.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the stromboli will be. Look for high-quality deli meats, cheeses, and bread.
- Don't overcrowd the stromboli: If you try to fit too much filling into the stromboli, it will be difficult to roll and seal properly. Stick to a single layer of each ingredient.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the stromboli: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even slices. If you use a dull knife, the stromboli will tear.
- Serve the stromboli warm: Stromboli is best served warm, so slice it and serve it immediately after baking. You can also reheat it in the oven or microwave.
Conclusion:
Stromboli is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its flaky crust, savory filling, and melted cheese, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give stromboli a try. You won't be disappointed!
