Recipe - Stromboli

1 pack Yeast
2 teaspoon Sugar
1/3 cup ;Water, warm
4 cup Flour
3 tablespoon Butter; in pieces
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup ;Water, ice, without cubes
1 pound Ricotta
One half cup Parmesan
One half pound Mozzarella, cut or sliced up

2 tablespoon Butter; melted

Preheat oven to 200 degrees for 15 minutes and turn off. Combine yeast,
sugar and warm water in a small mixing bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes until
foamy. In the workbowl of a food processor, add flour, butter pieces and
salt. Process for 20 seconds. Add ice water to yeast. With the processor
running, add yeastwater mixture gradually, until all of the moisture is
absorbed and the dough leaves the side of the bowl. Process for an
additional 60 seconds. Transfer dough from the workbowl to a large greased
mixing bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and place in warm off oven. Allow
to rise until doubled, approximately 1 One half hours.

Combine the ricotta and Parmesan. Punch down the risen dough and transfer
to a floured rolling surface. With quick, hard strokes, roll dough into a
large rectangle, approximately One half inch thick. Layer one half of the
mozzarella cheese evenly down the center leaving approximately three inches
of exposed dough on either side. Top with the ricotta mixture and
pepperoni, and the remaining mozzarella. Overlap the exposed dough over the
cheese mixture and pinch well on all sides to seal.

Transfer to a large cookie sheet, seam side up. Cover with a kitchen towel
and return to the warmed oven. Allow to rise until doubled, approximately
45 minutes. Brush loaf with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until loaf is well browned and
hollow sounding when thumped.
