""EPIC FAIL"" Stromboli, w/Failed Pron!

[BobBrisket]

I'd still hit it. Seems you had too much liquid/moisture issue and with the dough rolled out thin, it warmed up too much and well, the issue. Also, was that shortening you coated the dough ball with?
I have issues with dough and baking too. I combat that by simply greasing or oiling the stone and just rolling it out on the stone itself. Saves fromhaving to make that critical move after it's suffed, filled, sauced etc.
Reminds of the time my pizza stuck to the board I was using for transport to the grill. It wouldn't slide off........so I forced it.............all that made it to the grill was the sauce and toppings. The dough was still on the board. LOL!!
It's all just part of the learning curve. Looks like you made a good a save to me.

Thank you everyone, I'm making it again, but I'm going to use Bob's method. I'm going to roll it out on the stone first. And then I will roll out it thick and not thin this time.

You just had an oddly shaped stromboli today. Shall we say well vented. And a stromboli that size only needs one egg worth of wash, and it should be a very thin wash at that.

I might also add "the Harley only has paint damage and the cat will require retrreads after his 100 MPH jog through the neighborhood". Now that would be an epic failure.

Most of all I agree with John.

Remember my motto "Never give up and looks ain't everything"

I have never tried pizza etc. (need a stone) So no words of wisdom from me only words of encouragement,
Keep on swingin'

Thank you old smoke, and everyone else.

I have learned a valued lesson here making a strom, hot pocket that I can take with me to the next pizza session.

You guys rock, PERIOD!

When you get the chance watch Alton Brown's Good Eats episode on pizza crust...lots of good suggestions. One that would appear appropriate...well two actually.. build you Stromboli/Pizza/Calzone on a Pizza peal...and once you've got your dough the size you want, make sure it isn't "stuck" to the peal/stone/pan/whatever before you put your toppings on.

Presentation is nice...but taste is more important...keep up the good work.

Old Smoke, a pan can work fine also. Makes it easier in terms of no transfer, just pat it out on the pan. Easy peasy.

[Derek]

Thanks guys, I'm actually going to ROLL it on the metal pizza stone ( can I call it a stone? )

and then put that stone on the grill using Landarc's coal method ( or the minion method )

Is your work place or your home blocking the ip to Smugmug.com?

I think that might be why!

Cool, cool. We gotta get them together, And fly them to A.L. So we can put them in a movie, and hope we can get Arnold Swartzinagure & Danny Devito to give them voice overs :P

Call the movie Twins :P

Legendary Guerry, not just lovely, but legendary. And better yet, it was the first Throw Down after RedHot went into competition against you.

OldSmoke, I prefer the holey (perforated) pan.

Derek, it is a pan, metal pan. No renaming, a stone is not metal.
