Veggie & Cheese Filling:
Warm oil on medium heat in a saucepan. Mince shallots and fry until golden.
Dice mushrooms and toss in the pan. Add salt, oregano, and black pepper.
Cover and simmer for 5 min.
Remove the lid and cook for about 7 min. No liquid should remain. Mix in chopped olives and set aside to cool down.
Cut cheese into thin slices.
Pizza Dough:
Follow the steps in the recipe here. Except, use regular flour, not semolina.
Preheat the oven to 400℉ and prepare the pesto while the dough rises for approx. 30-40 min or until doubled in size.
Pesto Rosso:
Assemble and measure all ingredients.
Place everything except the olive oil in the food processing bowl. Blend until creamy.
Add oil through the feed tube and blend until combined.
Assembly of the Stromboli:
Line baking trays with parchment paper.
Roll both balls of dough out into a rectangle until they are 1/8 to ¼ inch thick.
Coat dough evenly with pesto, leaving about 2 inches from the long edges. You might have leftover pesto.
Top with veggie filling and slices of cheese.
Roll the dough slowly and tightly, until you get a long burrito-like shape. Pinch the edges to seal and fold where the seam is.
Lay the Stromboli seam-side down and brush with egg wash. Make cuts with a knife every 2 inches along the roll.
Top with herbs and parmesan cheese if desired.
Bake for 15-20 min or until golden brown.
Serve with your favorite pizza sauce!
