Homemade Stromboli
Description
This stromboli starts by spreading refrigerated pizza dough on a baking tray, then brushing half of a garlic butter and parsley mixture over the surface. Layers of deli meats such as ham, salami, or pepperoni are added, followed by shredded mozzarella, leaving a border around the edges. The dough is rolled tightly jelly-roll style from a long side, sealing the edges and tucking in the ends to enclose the filling.
The roll is brushed with the remaining garlic butter for flavor and browning, then baked at 350°F until golden brown. The result is a bread encasing melted cheese and savory meats, with a soft crust flavored by the garlic butter topping.
Stromboli can be served warm sliced, making it suitable for quick dinners or casual gatherings. It can be prepped ahead and chilled before baking, and leftovers keep well refrigerated or frozen. Reheating in the oven preserves the crust crispness.
Ingredients
- 1 can pizza crust such as Pillsbury, (13.8 oz, refrigerated
- 3 tablespoons butter unsalted, melted
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- 8 ounces deli meat such as ham, salami, or peperoni slices
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Butter and Herbs: In a small bowl add the melted butter, garlic, parsley and whisk well.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a brush, brush the ½ the butter mixture over the entire surface of the pizza dough to within ½ inch of the edges.
- Layer Filling: Layer with meats and shredded mozzarella cheese, leaving a 1-inch border around.
- Roll up the Dough: Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side, then pinch the seam to seal. Tuck the ends under and place it seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush with Butter: Brush the top of the roll with remaining butter mixture.
- Bake and Serve: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Garnish with parsley if preferred. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Notes
- This recipe uses store-bought pizza dough, but homemade dough can be substituted; double homemade dough recipes will yield two strombolis.
- Don't overfill the stromboli to prevent splitting and sogginess during baking.
- Prepare and roll the stromboli on a baking sheet, then refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking; allow it to come to room temperature before baking.
- Store leftovers wrapped in foil in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
- For freezing, wrap tightly in foil and place in a freezer bag for up to 3 months; thaw in refrigerator 24-48 hours before reheating.
