How to make this jackfruit stromboli
Step 1: Make the pizza dough
To make the stromboli pizza dough, simply stir together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix in some lukewarm water, and oil and knead the dough until smooth either by hand or with a stand mixer. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and leave it to rise in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it back to deflate it and form into a smooth ball on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough in half, ready to be rolled out for Step 3 below.
Step 2: Make the jackfruit filling
While the pizza dough is rising, you can get ahead and make the jackfruit filling.
First, you will need to drain the jackfruit. Then transfer it to a kitchen towel and squeeze to extract as much water as possible.
Second, you need to break up the jackfruit chunks with your fingers by pulling them apart and cut any hard chunks with a knife into smaller bits.
The jackfruit is then cooked in a pan with some olive oil, onion, garlic, BBQ sauce, and water. Once done, set aside until you are ready to build your stromboli.
Step 3: Build the stromboli
Using a rolling pin, roll out the first dough ball on a well-floured surface to a rectangle measuring approximately 25×40 cm (10×15 3/4 inch).
Leaving a 4cm (1 1/2 inch) border all around, spread some tomato sauce over the dough. Scatter some jackfruit and cheese evenly on top.
Folding both ends, slowly roll the stromboli tightly into a 40cm(15 3/4 inch) log.
Carefully transfer the stromboli to an oven tray lined with parchment paper. Tuck in both ends. Repeat the process with the second piece of dough.
Step 4: Serve this jackfruit stromboli
Once both stromboli are baked, remove them from the oven and leave to cool down for 10 minutes before cutting them into slices. Serve with tomato sauce on the side.
