Paneer Stromboli

This is an Indian twist to an Italian dish. I incorporated paneer into this Italian dish. You could use a store bought pizza dough or make your own. I made my own and its part of this recipe

Ingredients


Wheat Flour - 2 cups
Salt to taste
Yeast - 2 tsp
Dried Oregano - 2 tsp
Paneer (Cottage Cheese)
Green Chilli
Onion - 1 medium size
Garlic - small piece
Ginger - 2 cloves
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp or more
Turmeric - 1 tsp
Garam Masala - 1 tsp
Spinach a big bunch
Cheese - either a few slices or a cup of shredded cheese

Preparation

Bread Dough. In a small bowl warm a little bit of water and add the dry yeast to it. Mix it well and cover it with a cloth and leave it for 10 minutes. In the meantime, in a large bowl, mix the wheat flour, salt and the dried oregano leaves. Once the yeast is ready, slowly mix the flour mix and the yeast water and make a dough. Knead it well and then leave it in the bowl covered for 10 to 20 minutes. Remove the dough and knead well for another 10 minutes and leave it covered in the bowl for an hour or more. The dough will rise during this time.

Paneer Mix. I made a kind of dry paneer bhurji and used it as the filling for the stromboli. Crumble up the paneer in a bowl and keep it aside. Finely chop the onions, green chillies, garlic and ginger. Heat a small pan and add a little bit of oil to it. Now add the cumin seeds. Once the cumin seeds turn brown, add the onions, green chilies, ginger and garlic and saute them well. Add salt, red chili powder, turmeric and garam masala to the mix. Saute for a few minutes and then add the crumbled paneer to the pan and mix. Cook the mix for about 10 minutes or so.

Preheat the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit. Roll out to dough into a large rectangle. Spread the spinach leaves over the dough. Sprinkle some shredded cheese on it or place some slices of cheese on top. Now spread the paneer mix over this and sprinkle with some more cheese. Fold in the ends of the  dough then roll into a rectangle. Cut some slits on the top, spread a little bit of oil and sprinkle some cheese on top. Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until golden.

The Stromboli is ready to eat.. Enjoy !! You can customize the filling as per your choice.
