Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 595 grams 4 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 12 grams 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 grams 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 405 grams 14.25 oz water, room temperature
  • 28 grams 1 oz extra virgin olive oil

Garlic Butter

  • 3 Tb butter
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsp fresh parsley

Filling

  • 3 cups mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 pound pepperoni

Marinara

  • 1 Quart crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 Tb sugar optional

Egg Wash

  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • Mill your wheat berries into flour using the finest setting on your grain mill.
  • In a large bowl, combine your freshly milled flour with salt and yeast. Whisk together to distribute evenly.
  • Add water and olive oil. Mix until no dry flour remains. The dough will be slightly sticky – this is normal with fresh-milled flour.
  • Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. This crucial autolyse period allows the fresh flour to fully hydrate.
  • Perform five sets of stretch and folds at 5-minute intervals, keeping the dough covered between sets.
  • Place dough in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, overnight and up to 48 hours.
  • The day you want to bake the pizza, remove dough from refrigerator at least an hour before you plan to bake it to allow it to come to room temperature.
  • Divide dough into two sections and roll each section out into a 10 in by 16 in rectangle.
  • Apply thin layer of garlic butter and then use a pastry brush to brush egg wash on the edges of your rectangle.
  • Apply a layer of cheese, then a layer meat and then finish with a final layer of cheese.
  • Roll your rollout towards you tucking in the sides like a burrito. Roll untill you reach the other side and then pinch the end of the roll out to the log (watch video).
  • Egg wash entire top of stromboli and cut 3-5 slits in the top of the roll to allow steam to escape while baking.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes or until the bottom is brown and the top is golden.
  • To make marinara add crushed tomatoes and all spices to a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and serve.
  • Cut into strips and serve with a side of warm marinara
