I used sausage ball filling

subheading: Dough:

400g bread flour (3 cups)

200g whole grain turkey red wheat flour (~1 ⅓ cups)*

400g water (1 ⅔ cups)

90g sourdough starter (⅓ to ½ cup)

14g olive oil (1 Tbsp)

10g salt (2 tsp)

note: The beef stromboli dough had 200g home-milled whole grain hard white wheat berries.

subheading: CHOOSE A FILLING OR CREATE YOUR OWN:

Sauteed spinach, salami, pecorino romano and mozzarella

Sauteed broccoli, cheddar

Ground beef mix, basil

subheading: Spinach Filling:

1 9 oz bag of fresh spinach or 16-ounce bag of frozen spinach, defrosted and drained in a colander

3 cloves of garlic

2 to 3 Tbsp of olive oil

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

⅛ tsp nutmeg

½ to 1 cup shredded or chopped mozzarella

½ cup grated or shaved pecorino romano or parmesan

10 to 15 slices of pepperoni, salami, chorizo

subheading: Broccoli Filling:

1 bag of frozen broccoli florets

½ medium onion diced

2 to 3 Tbsp of olive oil

½ tsp salt (skip this if you use a salty meat and cheese in the filling)

0-1 tsp red pepper flakes (based on your spicy preference)

½ to 1 cup shredded or chopped medium cheddar

subheading: Empanada Inspired Ground Beef Filling:

1 lb ground beef (90% lean if possible)*

½ cup chopped onion

2 cloves of garlic minced

3 Tbsp chopped sweet pickled jalapenos OR ½ cup chopped bell pepper**

2 tsp ground paprika

1 tsp ground cumin

½ to 1 tsp salt (less if you use pickled jalapenos and cheese, more if you skip the cheese and/or use bell peppers)

¼ tsp ground black pepper

If you use a higher fat content ground beef, you may want to saute it alone first and then drain off some of the fat to toss out or to use in place of some of the olive oil.

note: My mom's beef empanada filling, which this is inspired by, also has raisins and green olives. So delicious!

subheading: Wash and Decoration:

1 beaten egg

Sesame seeds to sprinkle on top if you want
