Stromboli Recipe
Description
Stromboli is a stuffed Italian-American bread with a pizza dough base wrapped around cheeses and cured meats. This version uses mozzarella cheese layered along with sliced ham and pepperoni, anchored by marinara sauce directly in the center of the dough rectangle. The sides are cut into strips and crisscrossed over the filling, sealing it and creating an attractive braided effect that crisps up during baking.
The cooking method involves baking at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until the dough turns a golden brown color and the cheese inside melts fully. Brushing the dough with beaten egg helps achieve a shiny, appetizing crust. Fresh parsley can be added afterward to add a touch of color and freshness. Serving with additional marinara sauce allows for dipping and complements the savory filling with acidity.
This Stromboli makes a handheld meal that highlights the classic flavors of pizza in a compact, easy-to-serve form. The balance of melted mozzarella, sliced meats, and tomato sauce offers a satisfying combination of textures and tastes, with the baked crust adding a pleasant chewiness and crisp edges. It is suitable for casual occasions and can be sliced into servings.
Ingredients
- 1 ounce pizza dough tube or ball
- 1 3/4 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce plus more for dipping
- 1 1/4 cup pepperoni slices
- 6 ounces ham or canadian bacon, sliced
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- parsley optional garnish, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Roll the pizza dough into a rectangle that covers the area of the sheet pan, leaving a 1 inch border on all sides.
- Place the marinara sauce, 1/2 of the cheese, ham and pepperoni down the middle of the dough. Add the remaining cheese on top of the meats.
- Cut 1/2 inch strips on the sides of the dough with a pizza cutter, then alternatively criss cross one strip of dough from each side to make a pattern, folding the edges over on the top and bottom of the stromboli.
- Brush the lightly beaten egg over the top and sides of the dough.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until stromboli is golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Top with chopped parsley if desired, cut into slices, and serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
