Pour in the water a little bit at a time and mix (with a knife is best for me!). If you did what I did and added to much water... Just add more flour until it looks like the picture!

No I'm from the uk ;D Haha so is Stromboli not food?

Giulia (waiting for Mr) Darcy

You are very welcome! :) Are you from US? I was so surprised someone managed to write properly two Italian words in a row! Speaking of, Stromboli is just a Sicilian island ;)

Ok thank you for the tips! ;D I'll try and find some brewers yeast :)

(author) 11 months ago

Giulia (waiting for Mr) Darcy

Yes, absolutely before kneading it. It should rise for 2/3 hours or until it becomes the double. And yes, brewer's yeast, ALWAYS:) the same we use for baking bread, it gives a completely different taste!

Giulia (waiting for Mr) Darcy 11 months ago

Lisa W

I might try letting it rise next time, do you let it rise while it's just a ball of dough?

(author) 11 months ago

Lisa W

Brewers yeast? I haven't heard of that before!

(author) 11 months ago

Giulia (waiting for Mr) Darcy

I see. In Italy we let it rise for few hours in a warm place (even covered with many woollen blankets): that's what the yeast is for! BTW when you bake pizza/calzone we use brewer's yeast only ;)

Giulia (waiting for Mr) Darcy 11 months ago

Lisa W

No I didn't let it rise, I suppose you could if you want to but I only left it for a few minutes while I was grating cheese :)

Giulia (waiting for Mr) Darcy

So you don't let it rise?

This is actually a really great recipe. It's easy and you can just fill it with what ever you can scrounge up. Pretty awesome.

Me again!:) It's not to be picky, I just hope this could be an helpful tip: the dough shape, once you've rolled it, should be round and the topping only on half of it: I guess it's easier to close it and you easily get the right amount of filling. The original final shape is half-a-moon actually.
