Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 rolling pin
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 brush for egg wash
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1 cup marinara sauce for dipping
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese about 4 ounces
- ½ cup sliced pepperoni
- ½ cup diced bell peppers
- ½ cup sliced mushrooms
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 egg for egg wash
- to taste none olive oil for brushing
- to taste none salt
- to taste none pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle (about 12x15 inches).
- Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
- Layer the pepperoni, bell peppers, and mushrooms evenly on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan and Italian seasoning over the filling, and season with salt and pepper.
- Carefully roll the dough from one long edge to the other, making sure to keep the fillings tucked inside. Pinch the edges to seal the dough well.
- Place the rolled Stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of the Stromboli for a golden finish. Optionally, sprinkle a little Italian seasoning on top.
- Cut a few slits on the top of the Stromboli to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
