I am craving something bready and sloppy for dinner, but I can’t think of anything that fits the bill. I could make a giant vegetable pot pie (I’ve done that before and they are tasty), but for whatever reason, I’m wanting bread dough instead of pie dough and I don’t think that would work as well. Focaccia by itself would be too much bread without enough ‘stuff’. My better half is vegetarian, so I’d like to keep it meatless (cheese is fine). We have too much tofu right now, so I’m slightly tempted to make an S&B curry stew and then baking it inside bread dough, but would that work? It’d certainly have the sort of savory I desire, but it might be too gloppy. Really, I’m looking for something more like stromboli but I can’t think of anyone but Italians that bake lots of filling inside a bread wrap.

Any ideas?

    Yes! I LOVE veggie crumbles. I use them in spaghetti sauce, chili, tacos, enchiladas, and most everything else that calls for ground hamburger – especially when in a sauce.

    My bigger issue is how to construct a ‘thing’ that works with dough. Maybe something like a ‘cheese steak’ stromboli would work.

        Since you aren’t vegetarian, may I recommend trying a ‘Reuben’ pizza (or stromboli)?

        Instead of pizza sauce, use Russian dressing. Top with sauerkraut and chopped up corned beef and finish with shredded swiss cheese (use a good swiss and shred yourself for best results). You might optionally add onion before baking or dill pickles afterwards.
