Ingredients

  • 13.8 oz. pizza dough
  • 4 oz. pepperoni or other assorted meats of your choosing
  • ¼ cup Pizza Sauce
  • 8 oz. shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 4 oz. Provolone cheese slices 6 slices
  • 2-3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg for wash
  • Pinch of Italian herbs
Garnishes
  • grated Parmesan cheese
  • Italian Herbs
  • chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat to 400F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spritz with nonstick baking spray.
  3. Spread the pizza dough onto the lined baking sheet, and spread into a 14” x 10” rectangle.
  4. Line the dough with pepperoni, leaving 1-2” between the final pepperoni and the exterior long edge. (This will make rolling easier.)
  5. Slather the sauce onto the pepperoni.
  6. Sprinkle on the mozzarella. Finish with the provolone.
  7. Brush egg wash along the edges of the pizza dough. This will help seal it as it bakes.
  8. Roll up like a cinnamon roll. Start on a long side and roll it into a log, curling your hands around the dough to keep it all together. Fold in the short sides so the dough will seal, then continue rolling until you have a log. Seal the dough by pinching it together.
  9. Flip the stromboli over so the seam side is faces down.
  10. Brush egg wash on top. Sprinkle on parmesan and some Italian herbs.
  11. Cut 4-5 slices in the top as vents, then pop into the hot oven.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
  13. Let cool for 15-20 minutes, or until the stromboli isn’t piping hot.
  14. Slice into rounds, and enjoy with additional pizza sauce.

Notes

  • A note on ingredient substitutes: You can customize this recipe to your tastebuds! I suggest using the same proportions as listed above so that it’s not overfull.
  • Here are some other ingredients that would be delicious in this recipe:
  • , like ground sausage, salami, other cold cuts, or even sliced chicken breast or thighs, would be excellent. Traditional Italian cold cuts are considered classic ingredients for this. I like to use the meat as my base, so whatever you choose, make sure you’ve got enough to cover the majority of the pizza dough.
  • , like onions, broccoli, green bell peppers, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, etc., would be delicious add-ins. Think of your favorite veggies to add to pizzas and those would be delicious here, too!
  • work, too, though I caution not to add extra cheese for the heck of it. (So swap out the mozzarella or provolone for whatever other flavor you want.) This Stromboli is jam-packed as is, and additional cheese will spill out as it bakes. I do not recommend using wetter cheeses, like ricotta or a fresh mozzarella.
  • How to store: Take cooled leftovers and place them in an airtight food storage container. Store in the fridge for 2-3 days.
