Ham and Sausage Stromboli

Have an aspiring little chef on your hands? Try out this easy to make stromboli with your little ones. Ace and I had so much fun creating this dish. He even used the dough scraps as a make shift play dough. :) It does take some time to create and cook so it's perfect for those slow burning summer days.
Ingredients:
1 pkg hot roll mix
1 1/4 c warm water
3 tbsp of oil, divided
1/3 lb sliced deli ham
1/3 lb sliced salami
1/4 lb pork sausage (cooked and drained)
4 slices of American cheese, cut into strips
1 c mozzarella or provolone cheese
dried oregano, garlic powder, ground pepper (added for taste)

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the contents of the roll mix and yeast packets. Stir in warm water and 2 tbsp of oil until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth (about 5 mins). Cover and let rest for 5 min. Press into a lightly greased 15 in x 10 in x 1 in baking pan.
3. Layer ham, salami, American cheese, mozzarella cheese and sausage over dough. Roll up jelly-role style, starting with the long side; pinch seam to seal. Place diagonally in pan. Brush with remaining oil and sprinkle with dried oregano, garlic powder, and pepper.
4. Bake at 375 for 30-40 mins until golden brown. Let stand 10 mins before slicing.

Review:
Again, we had so much fun making it and we were excited, that the kids lost interest having to wait so long for it to cook. They had already moved on to other things. I think I also went too heavy on the garlic powder, oops! The bread on this stromboli makes it very filling. I had one slice and was full. I am used to making stromboli from pre-made pizza dough so the bread part was a little different. I thought it was good and it makes a ton! We will be having left overs for lunch again tomorrow. It serves 18.
*Note, watch you oven towards the end of the cooking, I started mine for 35 mins and it was already very golden brown by 30 mins.
