What is Stromboli other than being a town in the Italian region of Sicily? It is a pastry or pizza crust of sorts, and there are several variations of it floating about. Peruse a few of them:

Or try the following from Campbell's Kitchen:

 

Ham & Cheese Stromboli

1/2 pkg. frozen puff pastry sheets (1 sheet)

1 egg

1 TBS water

1/2 LB sliced cooked deli ham

1/2 LB sliced cooked deli turkey

1 C shredded cheddar cheese

 

Thaw pastry sheet at room temperature for thirty minutes. Preheat oven to 400-degrees F. Mix egg and water. Unfold pastry on lightly floured surface. Roll into 16"x12" rectangle. With short side facing you, layer ham and turkey on bottom half of pastry to within 1" of edges. Sprinkle meat with cheese. Starting at short side, roll up like a jelly roll. Place seam-side down on baking sheet. Tuck ends under to seal. Brush with egg mixture. Bake for twenty-five minutes or until golden. Slice and serve warm. Serves six.

The recipe sounds much easier than doing up the dish from scratch, and is probably just as tasty.
