  6. Punch down the dough and divide in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half the dough to a large rectangle. Spread half of the squash mixture across the dough leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle half the cheese (jack and parm) over the top. Starting with the long end, roll up the dough into a roll, pinching the edges to seal. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Let the dough rise 10-15 minutes.

  7. Bake (in 450 degree oven) until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle each stromboli with additional Parmesan cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Thanks Lapadia, just had the leftovers for lunch today... perfect for a cold stormy day in the Puget Sound... does it smell like winter out there to you, because it does to me!

Mmmmm. So luscious. They sound sooo tasty. I bet these would also be good with a bit of crispy prosciutto and perhaps a lightly smoked cheese instead of the cheddar. Love it!! ;o)

Oooh, crispy proscuitto or pancetta would be a fantastic addition!! I really think any good melty cheese would work--I used jack, but I can also see adding in a smoked gouda, fontina...maybe even a little gruyere?
