Ingredients
1 pound pizza dough
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup pepperoni slices
1/2 cup salami slices
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil or 1 beaten egg (for brushing)
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
2. Spread mozzarella evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
3. Layer the pepperoni and salami evenly on top of the cheese. Sprinkle Italian seasoning across the top.
4. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log, tucking in the ends. Pinch the seams to seal.
5. Transfer the Stromboli to a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush the top with olive oil or egg wash. Sprinkle with Parmesan and more Italian seasoning if desired.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
7. Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if using.
8. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy!
Notes
Don’t overload with fillings or it may burst open while baking.
Let it rest before slicing to avoid cheese oozing out.
You can use store-bought dough or make your own for extra freshness.
