Instructions
 

Make the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
  2. Add warm milk and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead by hand or mixer until smooth and elastic (7–8 minutes).
  4. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour).
  5. You can substitute this with a sourdough stromboli or a homemade stromboli recipe using store-bought dough.

Cook Bacon & Eggs

  1. Cook bacon until crispy. Drain and chop.
  2. Scramble eggs in a bit of bacon fat and butter until just set. Season well.

Assemble Stromboli

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet.
  2. Roll dough into a 12x14" rectangle.
  3. Layer eggs, bacon, cheeses, scallions, and herbs in center.
  4. Fold long edges over, then seal ends. Place seam-side down.
  5. Brush with oil, score the top lightly.

Bake

  1. Bake 20–25 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  2. Cool 5 minutes before slicing.
