10. 10
    I've noticed less greace dripping out after they bake.
11. 11
    I stick my sauce on last so that it's not making a mess while i place other ingredients inches Alot of times, i dont add sauce and just let everyone use a side of sauce for dipping.
12. 12
    Flip one side over on top the other (folding like a card)& pinch/twist edges to seal.
13. 13
    Sometimes i even pinch/twist a second time going the oposite way just to make sure.
14. 14
    Carefully wiggle/roll the stromboli around so that pinched sides are now on top instead of along the side.
15. 15
    Place on sprayed cookie sheet & paint egg white on top for glazed look.
16. 16
    Bake on 350 degrees for about 22 minute.
17. 17
    If there is left over dough, i roll mini donut size balls and place in oven for a couple minutes till they turn tan.
18. 18
    I throw them in a bowl, melt some butter, sprinkle in some cinimon sugar, put on a lid and shake.
19. 19
    They taste very close to the cini dots that domino's pizza use to carry.
