Dina Deleasa Instagram – Smoked Mozzarella and Grilled Eggplant make the most delicious stuffed bread. You know that I am all about good stuffed bread. Along with being a serious advocate for smoked mozzarella. If you haven’t tried it yet, well you need to! I love having a stuffed bread on hand for company or as a quick dinner when paired with a salad. It never disappoints. My favorite stuffed bread recipe will be in my cookbook. But this should hold you over til then!
1 ball (1 pound) store bought dough
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup marinara sauce
3/4 cup shredded smoked mozzarella
4 slices grilled eggplant slices
1 tbsp olive oil
Remove the pizza dough from its packaging and shape it into a ball.
Place it into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place until the dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper to combine.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a large, clean surface and roll the dough into a 10-x12-inch rectangle.
Top with the sauce along the closest 12-inch side, leaving a 1-inch border.
Repeat with the mozzarella, then layer the sliced eggplant. Sprinkle some salt over top before rolling the dough.
Starting at the long edge with the filling, tightly roll the dough, tucking in the filling as you go, shaping it into a log, gently sealing the ends of the roll as you go
When you get to the end, gently press together the dough to make a seam.
Place the log seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
Tuck in the ends of the logs, pinching them together to seal.
Brush the top of the dough with olive oil.
Using a paring knife, cut three small slits across the top of the dough.
Bake until cooked through and golden brown, about 40 minutes; rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
