Equipment
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 prepared pizza dough (16-ounce)
- ½ cup pizza sauce divided, plus more for dipping (120mL)
- 4 ounces deli sliced pepperoni divided (113g)
- 4 ounces sliced salami divided (113g)
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella divided (225g)
- 1¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning divided
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425º F.
- On a lightly floured work surface, divide pizza dough half. Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough into a 9x12-inch rectangle. Spread ¼ cup pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border all the way around the dough. Carefully layer half of the pepperoni and half of the salami slices over the sauce. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella and ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning.
- Starting at one long edge, loosely roll the dough up like a jelly roll, tucking in the sides as you go. Place seam side down and to one side of a large baking sheet. Repeat the process with remaining dough, sauce, meats, cheese, and seasoning.
- Brush strombolis with the egg. Using a sharp knife, cut several small slits on top of strombolis. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 16 to 19 minutes or the crust is golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with extra pizza sauce.
Notes
- If the dough keeps springing back as you roll it out, allow it to rest for a few minutes so it can relax.
- Make sure to leave a border around the dough when you spread the pizza sauce. You want there to be enough dough to seal once rolled up. Also, pizza sauce on the exterior of the dough will burn in the oven.
- When rolling up the stromboli, start with a loose roll. If you roll it too tightly, it will push the sauce and meat down, causing it to hang out at the end. The thinner your meat slices, the better for rolling.
- Careful not to overfill the stromboli, or it will burst in the oven.
- If you want to use a different meat filling, cook it first or use pre-cooked meat. This way, you don’t add additional moisture to the inside of the stromboli. Some other meats to try are prosciutto, sliced ham, cooked sausage, and cooked bacon.
- You can swap the cheese for a different flavor. Try fontina, pecorino romano, provolone, gouda, cheddar, asiago, gruyere, Swiss, or your favorite cheese.
- Want to add vegetables? Again, make sure they’ve been pre-cooked. Some of my favorite vegetables to add are sliced mushrooms, sliced onions, and chopped broccoli.
