Italian Meat Stromboli
The Italian Meat Stromboli is a rolled yeast dough filled with pizza sauce, a mix of Italian cold cuts like salami and capicola, and shredded mozzarella cheese. After proofing and rolling the dough, it is layered with savory fillings, rolled tightly, and baked with an egg wash, Parmesan, and parsley topping for a golden, flavorful sandwich-style bread.

Ingredients
Dough
- 3/4 cup water warm
- 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Filling
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 pound Italian cold cuts such as salami, capicola, or pepperoni, sliced
- 1-1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Topping
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1/4 teaspoon parsley dried
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together 3/4 cup warm water, 1 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast. Add 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the yeast mixture. Using the dough hook attachment, mix on medium speed. Add in additional flour as needed, 2 tablespoons at a time, until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 12x10 inches in size.
- Spread 1/2 cup pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Layer 1/2 pound sliced Italian cold cuts evenly over the sauce. Sprinkle 1-1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the cold cuts.
- Starting from one of the longer sides, roll the dough tightly, similar to a cinnamon roll. Pinch the seams to seal the edges. Carefully transfer the rolled stromboli, still on the parchment paper, onto a baking sheet.
- Brush the top of the stromboli with the beaten egg. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Allow the stromboli to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce on the side, if desired.

Notes
- Use garlic butter sauce instead of pizza sauce by mixing melted butter with minced garlic and dried herbs, then brush it on dough before layering fillings.
- The herb garlic butter sauce includes 1/4 cup melted butter, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme.
