Homemade Stromboli in my Yoder Wood Fired Oven and it was Amazing!
A Stromboli is a Must Try
Introduction
Today, on the patio, we made a delicious stromboli using the Yoder Woodfired Oven. Here's a breakdown of how it all went down:
Preparation of the Dough: The process started yesterday with the preparation of the dough. Using 350g of warm water, 13g of fine sea salt, 1.5g of active dry yeast, and 500g of all-purpose flour, the dough was mixed and kneaded, first with a KitchenAid mixer, then by hand, before undergoing a two-hour rise. It was then divided, shaped into balls, and refrigerated overnight.
Firing Up the Yoder: With the Yoder Smokers Wood Fired Oven insert ready and loaded with Bear Mountain Oak pellets, the oven was set to preheat to 400°F. A thorough cleaning of the oven and the pit probe was done beforehand to ensure accurate temperature control and minimize dust.
Assembling the Stromboli: The dough was rolled out into a rectangle on parchment paper, not too thin, to maintain a bread-like texture. A homemade sauce made from canned tomatoes, olive oil, basil, salt, pepper, and fresh-cracked pepper from a pepper cannon (save 10% with code “RUMANDCOOK”) was spread onto the dough, leaving dry edges for sealing. The stromboli was filled with ham, pepperoni, sautéed red onions for a pop of flavor, and freshly grated cheese. The dough was then carefully rolled up, sealed, given an egg wash, and vented before being baked.
Baking Process: The stromboli was baked for about 19 minutes at 400°F in the Yoder Wood Fired Oven, rotated halfway through for even cooking. Despite a minor blowout due to shimming, the result was a beautifully browned stromboli.
The Final Product: After allowing it to cool for about 15 minutes, the stromboli was sliced open, revealing a delicious and steamy interior. Combining ingredients and the wood-fired oven cooking method resulted in a flavorful and satisfying stromboli that was well worth the effort.
This culinary journey demonstrated the versatility of the Yoder Wood Fired Oven and highlighted the importance of quality ingredients and preparation in creating delicious homemade stromboli. Whether you're an experienced pitmaster or new to wood-fired cooking, this recipe offers a delightful way to explore the flavors and textures only a wood-fired oven can provide.
