Meat 'n' Cheese Stromboli



1 medium onion, sliced and separated into rings
1 medium green pepper, sliced into rings - we used red pepper
1 tablespoon butter- we used grapeseed oil
2 loaves (16 ounces each) frozen bread dough, thawed - we used our whole wheat bread recipe
1/2 pound thinly sliced hard salami - we didn't use this
1/2 pound thinly sliced deli ham
1/2 pound sliced mozzarella cheese - we used colby jack
1/2 pound sliced mild cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
In a large skillet, saute onion and green pepper in butter until crisp tender; set aside.  On two greased baking sheets, roll each loaf of dough into a 15 in. x 12 in. rectangle.  Arrange the salami, ham and cheeses lengthwise over half of each rectangle to within 1/2 in. of edges.  Top with onion mixture; sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder and pepper.  Fold dough over filling; pinch edges to seal well.  Brush with egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds.  Bake at 400 for 15- 20 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Note:  We only made one loaf using half of the dough that my wheat recipe yields.  It makes a ton.  Also because I used my own bread recipe I cooked it at 350 for 30 minutes.  It was amazing!
