That looks delicious!!!
I wonder how it compares to a regular Stromboli you would order out? It's hard to believe you've never had one, Bear.
As much as I like stromboli, I always feel guilty and like crap after eating one. Maybe the ones in the air fryer are lighter?
Either way, it looks great and the filling possibilities are endless.

I looked through the pics, and when I saw that limp pizza dough at the bottom of the basket, I thought, "this isn't going to turn out very well." Then I saw the cooked final product and, wow, what a great looking dinner!
Just out of curiosity, since you'd never had one of these in your life, and given the infinite number of things you could have cooked, what made you think of cooking this?

Thank You Gary!

I'm not a knowledgable Pepper Person, but I call any Pepper that isn't hot, a sweet pepper.
The ones I used here were in a jar that said "Sweet Peppers", and were red, green, & yellow.
Bear
LOL----A Bear with a Chainsaw could be your worst Nightmare, Warren!!
Yup but if you notice in the raw dough photo one end is not sealed tight must have done that end with his carving chain saw.

Thank You!!
They're all over the Internet. Mine is the "Power AirFryer XL". (3.4 quart) I think I'd rather have the 5.3 quart, but I didn't trust my circuits.
Bear
Thank You PBM !!
Bear...you didn't save me any???
Sorry---It didn't last long.
We had a little tiny piece left, but I ate it the next day along with a Cheesesteak.

Warren
Lucky you're going to Florida! We're having a Blizzard here ----For the last 15 minutes!!
Everything is White already!!
Bear
Thank You Exray!!
I often thought about ordering one, but Mrs Bear never wanted any, so I just get Pizza.
Yup---Nothing heavy about these---No oil at all.
And Thanks for the Points.

So, I'm very curious, can anybody explain what an "Oilless" "Air fryer" is , compared to a convection oven at highish temps?
I mean I have seen them, but seem to be a "gimmick" to appeal to the oil / fat phobic Crowd.
For Stromboli , very possible logically, but for a "deep fried Turkey" ??????
I mean, chicken wings from my deep fat fryer, are just TOTALLY different (better) than ANY way I can make them in my Convection Oven.
So, I don't get it.
How can that be???

I don't have the fryer, but I do have two convection ovens. They circulate air, but at a really low flow. You typically cook at 25 degrees lower temp than the recipe calls for, and about 20% less time. It is great for things like biscuits because you get a little bit more crust that a regular oven would produce.
Someone (Bear) who actually has one of these things will need to speak up about how fast the air circulates, but having now watched half a dozen YouTube videos, and listened to the noises being made, it seems pretty clear that this is indeed a cousin to a hot air popcorn popper and that compared to a conventional oven with convection fan, this doesn't just "circulate" air, it blows air across the food. A lot of air.
I am suspecting therefore that the difference between this and a convection oven is probably really big, and you'd get totally different results with this than a convection oven (even one of those smaller "toaster-oven-sized" convection cookers).
BTW, I highly recommend putting "air fryer" into the search bar in YouTube and skimming through a few videos. One of the first hits is Emeril on QVC doing a classic QVC hard sell. If you can get past the infomercial shtick, it is actually pretty interesting to see some of the things he cooks with this thing.
I keep getting more and more intrigued ...
See Below:
Here's a Compare (Link below);
Briefly I'll just say they are similar, but the biggest differences are the AirFryer cuts the time in half, but can't cook as much at one time, due the the small size of the Fry Basket.
I haven't tried many things yet, but some say the Wings are just as good as Deep Fried (Wouldn't think so, but some say it).
AirFryer is also easier to clean, and----I won't bother to go on---Just check the Link below:

Thank You pa42 !!
I just did a couple inches at the overlap.
Bear
Thank You John!!
Good question & an easy answer;
This Stromboli is one of the 27 Recipes in the little book that came with my AirFryer.
It's also one of the easiest ones, and it fits in my 3.4 quart Model without changing anything.

Ah yes, the first recipe in the book. I do that too.
And thanks for the convection vs. air fryer link.

Actually my favorite Peppers are round & come in various colors.
They are sweet, but I have no idea what they're called or where to find them.
Been looking for years.
Bear
This was actually Number 10 in the Recipe book that came with the Fryer, but it is one of the easiest in the little book.

Bear and other sweet pepper lovers - - Most , or at least many foods ordered online are ridiculously expensive, much due to shipping.
There are anomalies, and one happens to be AWESOME red cherry sweet NOT hot peppers from Africa.
We got a case few months ago, VERY VERY reasonable delivered price, previously bought single jars at a store we moved away from.
I Highly recommend these -- First off, VERY good product, second - Calc the shipped price/ jar to your door - AWESOME.
Walmart online has them, but much higher price.
SOME larger grocery stores stock them, NOT widely distributed.
And a few sell this item, I believe from this processor/ packer, in their "By the Lb Olive Bar"
Get a case, you will not be sorry.
WONDERFUL product. Marc

Thank You Marc!
I just ordered a Jar I want to try with a Big order of assorted items.
If I don't like them I'll look into these.
I don't actually eat a lot of peppers, but years ago there was a Hotel--Bar that I used to get Cheesesteaks at.
Every time I got a Cheesesteak there, they included a couple Peppers on the plate.
They were about 1 1/2" in Diameter, red or green in color, sweet, and obviously from a jar.
They were by far the best tasting peppers I've ever had (IMHO), but the place changed hands before I found out exactly what they were & where they got them.
Been looking ever since.
