Bacon Ham and Cheese Stromboli

 

You can however, use your own homemade bread dough and use just about any type – white, brown, wholewheat etc.

Mine did not come out 100% the way I rolled it, but I think it still turned out just fine and most definitely delicious.

Serve a salad or two with the Stromboli and your dinner is sorted, or .. make one the night before and surprise everyone with a special lunch treat the next day.
