A basic herb pizza dough stuffed with a delicious seafood filling, adaptable to whatever seafood you have on hand.
Ingredients
  • PIZZA DOUGH:
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 pkg active dry yeast
  • 3 cups flour (approx… shouldn’t need it all)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp thyme
  • 2 tsp oregano (or Italian seasoning)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • SEAFOOD FILLING:
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small red pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • Italian spice, thyme, and fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • 1 (400 g) package of sole or other whitefish such as tilapia (approximately 6 fillets) in 1-inch pieces
  • 1 can of crabmeat
  • 1½ cups scallops
  • 3 tbsp white wine (optional - may substitute chicken broth)
  • 1 jar of alfredo sauce (I use Classico brand)
  • ¾ cup mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. FOR PIZZA DOUGH:
  2. In large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast into water and let sit 10 minutes until frothy.
  3. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine flour, thyme, oregano, and salt.
  4. Stir oil into yeast mixture. Stir in about ½ of the flour mixture. Add more flour, until dough can be gathered into a slightly sticky ball. On lightly floured surface, with floured hands, knead dough for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cut dough in half. Cover with wax paper and let rest 10 minutes.
  5. Cut each piece in half again and roll each to approximately 8-9 inches diameter. Place on 2 cookie trays lined with parchment paper and let rest for 15 minutes. Brush a thin layer of olive oil on each of the pieces of dough – this will keep the filling from soaking through.
  6. TO MAKE STROMBOLI:
  7. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  8. In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion, red pepper, garlic, tomato, and seasonings in the oil. When onions are slightly softened, stir in sole, crab, and scallops. Add white wine. Let simmer uncovered for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  9. Add alfredo sauce and cheese, stirring until cheese is melted. Let simmer uncovered for another 5-10 minutes, until slightly thickened. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary.
  10. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, scoop about ¾ cup of filling onto the center of each piece of dough. Don't overfill them or the filling will leak out during baking. Fold the dough pieces over and press the sides together firmly to seal the stromboli (see picture). Press again with a fork to tighten the seal and make a nice pattern :). Cut ventilation holes with a steak knife in the top of each stromboli.
  11. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown on top. Enjoy!
