Stromboli Sandwich

The Stromboli Sandwich is a rolled pizza dough filled with layers of ham, salami, pepperoni, mozzarella, and pepper jack cheeses, brushed with garlic butter and baked into a golden crust. The combination of multiple cheeses and cured meats provides a varied, rich texture with a balance of creamy and savory flavors. It's ideally served sliced, with marinara sauce for dipping, making it suitable for a hearty snack or meal addition.

Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded (I like to shred fresh mozz
  • 12 ham thin slices
  • 4 ounces pepper jack cheese sliced
  • 15-17 salami slices
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 15 lices pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup parsley chopped fine
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
  • black pepper to taste, cracked
  • parsley to garnish, chopped, more
  • marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. 
  2. Lightly flour a work surface or a square of parchment paper. Roll your pizza dough into a rectangle about 12 by 14 inches. I prefer to roll out my pizza dough on parchment paper, because you can just put the paper straight into the oven without trying to transfer it. 
  3. Brush the top of the dough with melted butter. 
  4. Sprinkle garlic over the top. You can either use fresh garlic or the kind in the jar. 
  5. Sprinkle the top with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Leave a 1-2 inch border around 1 long edge and the two short ends. 
  6. Top with 12 slices of ham.
  7. Layer slices of Pepper jack cheese on top of the ham.
  8. Layer salami on top of the Pepper jack. 
  9. Add another 1/2 cup mozzarella.
  10. Layer on the pepperoni.
  11. Sprinkle the last 1/2 cup mozzarella on top, then sprinkle with parsley.
  12. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork. Add 1 tablespoon water. Use a brush to coat the 3 exposed edges of your stromboli (short, short, and 1 long edge) with egg wash. 
  13. Carefully roll up the long edge of your stromboli, starting with the one edge that didn't get the egg wash. Roll it tightly so that it stays together. 
  14. Seal the seam with wet fingertips, then roll over the stromboli so that the seam is facing down. Seal the ends with wet fingers, folding the dough underneath if there is extra. 
  15. Transfer the stromboli to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  16. Brush with melted butter or the extra egg wash. Whatever is most handy. I actually used a little of both.
  17. Sprinkle the stromboli with Parmesan cheese, then sprinkle with black pepper. Use a sharp serrated knife to make shallow diagonal slits on top of the stromboli.
  18. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes, until the top is brown. If you are nervous that it's not done, lift an edge with a spatula and make sure the bottom is brown. 
  19. Let sit for a few minutes so you don't burn your fingers off. Use a sharp serrated knife to chop into 8-10 slices. 
  20. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and dip in warm marinara sauce to serve. 

Notes

  • The recipe yields two Strombolis when doubling the dough and cheese amounts, ideal for multiple servings.
  • Total mozzarella cheese used should be approximately 1 and 1/2 cups shredded.
  • Adjust pepper jack cheese to mozzarella if you want a milder flavor without heat.
  • Rolling dough on parchment paper allows placing it directly onto the baking surface, simplifying handling.
