Bread Machine Stromboli

1 1/2 of C water
2 tbsp canola oil
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp dry milk powder
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
4 C of bread flour
3 tsp active dry yeast
3/4 C pizza sauce
1 (3 1/2 oz.) pkg. sliced pepperoni
2 C Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 C Parmesan cheese, grated
1 egg white
1 tbsp water

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Following the order as directed by the manufacturer of your bread  machine place the first 8 ingredients into the machine.  Select the dough setting and allow the dough to make.  When the cycle is completed remove the dough from the machine and turn it out on a lightly floured surface.

Roll the dough into a 15X12 inch rectangle.  Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and place the dough on the sheet.  Spread the pizza sauce in a 3 inch strip down the middle of the dough coming within 2 inches of the ends  Arrange the pepperoni evenly over the sauce.  Sprinkle the cheese over the pepperoni.

Along each long side cut 1 inch wide strips about every 2 1/2 inches in the dough cutting about 2 inches into the center.  Starting at the end, fold alternating strips at an angle across the filling pinching  the ends to seal.

Place the egg white into a small bowl.  Add the water and beat until combined.
Brush the dough with the egg white mixture.  Bake for 22 minutes or until golden brown.  Allow to stand 10 minutes before cutting.

Makes 1 loaf

If you don’t have a bread machine refrigerated pizza dough will work just as well.
