Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 rolling pin
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 pastry brush
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup sliced pepperoni
- ½ cup diced bell peppers
- ½ cup cooked sausage, crumbled optional
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg for egg wash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 12x16 inches.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Layer the pepperoni, bell peppers, and crumbled sausage (if using) on top of the cheese.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder evenly over the fillings.
- Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough up tightly into a log shape. Pinch the seams to seal.
- Place the rolled Stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it evenly over the top of the Stromboli for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice into pieces and serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
Feel free to customize the fillings based on your preference. Vegetables, different cheeses, and meats can all be included.
To make it easier to slice, let the Stromboli rest for about 5 minutes before cutting.
