    05 October 1919 - FERRARI TAKES TO THE TRACK: Enzo Ferrari, 21, drives
    in his first competition at the Parma-Poggio di Berceto hillclimb race
    and takes fourth place. His race results will rise in the coming years
    but the Modena, Italy native will find more fame by founding a company
    whose products are as fast as they are flash.

    Enzo Ferrari was said to have been born on 18 February 1898 in Modena,
    Italy and that his birth was recorded on 20 February because a heavy
    snowstorm had prevented his father from reporting the birth at the local registry office; in reality, his birth certificate states he was born on
    20 February 1898, while the birth's registration took place on 24
    February 1898 and was reported by the midwife, whose name was Jacqueline D'Amico. He was the younger of two children to Alfredo Ferrari and
    Adalgisa Bisbini, after his elder sibling Alfredo Junior (Dino). Alfredo
    Senior was the son of a grocer from Carpi, and started a workshop
    fabricating metal parts at the family home. Enzo grew up with little
    formal education. At the age of 10 he witnessed Felice Nazzaro's win at
    the 1908 Circuito di Bologna, an event that inspired him to become a
    racing driver. During World War I he served in the 3rd Mountain
    Artillery Regiment of the Italian Army. His father Alfredo, and his
    older brother, Alfredo Jr., died in 1916 as a result of a widespread
    Italian flu outbreak. Ferrari became severely sick himself during the
    1918 flu pandemic and was consequently discharged from the Italian
    service.

    FOR THE PIZZA DOUGH: Add the yeast, 1 cup warm water and
    sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the
    dough hook. Let the mixture sit to allow the yeast to
    activate. The mixture should start foaming and forming
    small bubbles on the surface, 10 minutes. Gradually add
    the flour with the mixer on low speed. Add the olive oil
    and salt. Continue to mix on low and scrape down the
    sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
    Increase the speed as the flour becomes incorporated,
    and knead on medium speed, 7 to 8 minutes. The dough is
    done when it comes together as a single mass.

    Remove the dough from the mixer and knead 4 to 5 times
    on a lightly-floured surface so the dough is smooth and
    consistent. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic
    and allow to sit until the dough rises and doubles in
    volume, 1 hour.

    FOR THE FILLING: Set the oven @ 375ºF/190ºC.

    Divide the dough in half and, working with one piece at
    a time, stretch the dough into a 10" X 13" rectangle.
    Arrange the dough rectangle so the 13" long side is
    closest to you. Brush the surface with half of the
    melted butter, then spread the minced garlic out evenly
    over the top, remembering to split the filling
    ingredient quantities evenly across both stromboli.
    Leave a 1" border around the far and side borders.

    Sprinkle the dough with the Parmesan, then layer with
    the salami slices. Top the salami with a layer of deli
    ham and then a layer of bresaola. Shingle the cheese
    slices over the top and finish with fresh basil and some
    ground black pepper. With the covered edge closest to
    you, roll the dough up into a log, gently sealing the
    ends of the roll as you go. When you get to the end that
    has no filling on it, gently press to seal, then place
    the roll seam-side down on a nonstick sheet tray. Repeat
    the process with second piece of dough. Brush the tops
    of the dough with the remaining melted butter and
    sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake in the center of the oven
    until golden brown and puffy, 25 to 30 minutes.

    Allow the stromboli to cool 5 minutes before slicing it
    into thick slices with a serrated knife. Serve with the
    Marinara Sauce on the side or some mustard.

    MARINARA SAUCE: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan
    over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until
    translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook
    until the garlic is almost brown, another 2 minutes. Add
    the tomatoes and simmer, 20 minutes.

    Add the basil and oregano, and continue to simmer to
    thoroughly marry the flavors, 20 minutes longer. Puree
    the mixture with a stick blender, food mill or food
    processor. Season with salt and pepper.

    Yield: Makes 1 quart.
