Stromboli

No Knead Olive Bread Dough:

  • 1 1/2 cup warm water

  • 1 1/2 tsp. quick-rise instant dry yeast

  • 1 1/2 tsp. flaked sea salt

  • 1 tsp. olive oil

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup pitted sliced Kalamata olives

Filling:

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil + 1 Tbsp. for topping

  • 1/2 tsp. flaked sea salt + more for topping

  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano

  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

  • 2 ounces sliced salami

  • 2 ounces sliced prosciutto

  • 2 ounces sliced capocollo

  • 2 ounces soft herbed goat cheese, crumbled

  • 1/4 cup marinated artichoke hearts, cut into 1-inch slices



Directions:

Make dough: Combine water, yeast, salt, and olive oil in a large bowl. Let sit until yeast has dissolved and small bubbles have formed on the surface, about 5 minutes. Add flour and Kalamata olives and stir until combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a clean damp dish towel and let rise in a draft-free location until doubled in size, about 2 hours.

Assemble Stromboli: Preheat oven to 375° F. Place dough a clean lightly floured work surface and roll out into a large rectangle, approximately 18” x 6”. Carefully bring ends to meet, forming a circle, and press ends together to seal. Gently transfer to a large baking sheet.

Brush inner edge of dough with 2 Tbsp. olive oil, leaving a 3-inch border along the outside edge of the dough. Sprinkle with sea salt, dried oregano, and black pepper, then layer the salami, prosciutto, capocollo, artichoke hearts, and herbed goat cheese.
