Ingredients

Scale

Stromboli Dough and Cheese

  • 1 can refrigerated pizza dough (enough for 1 pizza)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Meats

  • 1/2 cup chopped, cooked ham
  • 1/2 cup sliced salami
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices

Additional Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the stromboli to a golden finish.
  2. Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water until well combined to create an egg wash for brushing the dough.
  3. Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a roughly rectangular shape large enough to hold the fillings.
  4. Assemble Stromboli: Spread 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving about 1 inch border on all sides. Layer the chopped ham, salami, and pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese. Spread 1/3 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the top of the meats. Finally, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  5. Roll and Seal: Carefully roll the dough from one long side towards the other, encasing the fillings like a jelly roll. Pinch and seal the edges and ends tightly to prevent leaking during baking.
  6. Apply Seasoning and Egg Wash: Transfer the rolled stromboli to a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Brush the entire surface with the prepared egg wash. Sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic powder evenly over the top for added flavor.
  7. Bake Stromboli: Place the stromboli in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the stromboli rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the cheese filling to set slightly. Slice and serve warm, accompanied by extra marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the pizza dough is sealed tightly to keep the fillings from leaking out while baking.
  • Use cooked ham or pre-cooked meat to avoid undercooked ingredients inside the stromboli.
  • For a spicier version, add crushed red pepper flakes to the filling.
  • Let the stromboli cool slightly after baking—it helps with easier slicing and less messy serving.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
