Tips/Notes
- Rather than making your own pizza dough, you can use store-bought pizza dough. This dough, however, rolls out very nicely.
- When making this dough, it's important to use cold water. The reason is that the speedy revolutions of the steel blade in the food processor generate a fair amount of heat. If the dough becomes too heated, it could kill the yeast. It's also important to use filtered water. The reason is that tap water contains chlorine which can retard the growth of the yeast or even kill the yeast.
- It's best to shred the Mozzarella yourself. The already shredded Mozzarella contains a coating that impacts the taste.
- Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli can be made ahead of time. Allow it to cool, wrap in aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator for several days, or in the freezer for up to a month. Heat in a preheated 350°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until thoroughly heated. If heating from the freezer, add 5 minutes. Leftovers can be stored and reheated in the same manner.
