Mortadella Stromboli
- 1 1/2 cups coarsely grated swiss or gruyere cheese (6 ounces)
- 1 cup thinly sliced string cheese (4 ounces)
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
- 1 13 .8-ounce package refrigerated pizza dough
- 10 fresh basil leaves
- 3/4 cup pitted green or black olives, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 pound sliced mortadella, cut into 1/2-inch-wide ribbons
- 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.
