Ingredients
Scale
Stromboli Dough and Cheese
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough, enough for 1 pizza
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
Meats and Sauce
- 1/3 cup marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped, cooked ham
- 1/2 cup sliced salami
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
Egg Wash and Seasonings
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the stromboli.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a roughly rectangular shape about 12 by 9 inches.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Spread 1/3 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Add Meats: Evenly distribute the chopped cooked ham, sliced salami, and pepperoni slices over the cheese layer.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the meats to help bind the filling.
- Roll the Stromboli: Carefully roll the dough from one long edge to the other, encasing the fillings. Pinch the edges to seal well and tuck the ends under.
- Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush this egg wash over the entire stromboli, which will give it a beautiful golden crust when baked.
- Season the Top: Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and garlic powder evenly over the brushed surface.
- Bake: Place the stromboli on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the stromboli from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute or add other deli meats like turkey or roast beef.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the meats and add vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
- Ensure the stromboli is sealed tightly to prevent cheese and sauce from leaking out during baking.
- Allowing it to cool slightly before cutting helps maintain slices without the filling spilling.
