Description
Homemade Italian Stromboli
Ingredients
For the Dough:
1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
For the Filling:
1/2 cup marinara sauce (optional for spreading or dipping)
6 oz salami, thinly sliced
6 oz pepperoni
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Optional: sliced black olives, roasted peppers, or sautéed mushrooms
For the Topping:
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried parsley or fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Dough:
Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle (approximately 12×14 inches).
Layer the Filling:
If using marinara sauce, spread a thin layer over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
Evenly layer salami, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and any optional fillings. Sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder.
Roll It Up:
Carefully roll the dough tightly from one long side to the other, creating a log. Pinch the seams and ends to seal.
Add Topping:
Place the stromboli seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley.
Bake:
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
Slice and Serve:
Let cool for a few minutes before slicing into 1-inch thick pieces. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
