Equipment
- oven
- Rolling Pin
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
- pastry brush
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 20–25 slices pepperoni
- 6 slices deli ham or salami
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 10×14-inch rectangle.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle mozzarella and provolone, then layer pepperoni and ham if using.
- Roll dough tightly into a log. Pinch seams and tuck ends underneath, then place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Whisk egg and brush over Stromboli. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan on top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Slice into pieces, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, swap meats for roasted peppers, mushrooms, or spinach. You can also customize cheeses with fontina or provolone blends. Let the Stromboli rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep the cheese from spilling.
