Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 ball pizza dough (ready-made or homemade)

Meats

  • 6–8 slices Italian salami
  • 6–8 slices pepperoni
  • 6–8 slices ham

Cheeses

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese or grated parmesan cheese

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

Herbs and Spices

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Finishing

  • 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface, aiming for an even thickness to ensure even cooking and easy rolling.
  2. Layer the Fillings: Start with a generous layer of sliced Italian meats, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella and provolone over the top, followed by your choice of vegetables and a sprinkle of garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Roll It Up: Carefully roll the dough from one long side to the other, making sure the fillings stay tucked inside, then pinch the edges closed to seal your stuffed roll.
  4. Apply Egg Wash and Bake: Brush the entire Stromboli with beaten egg for that beautiful glossy finish, then bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown and bubbly, usually about 25-30 minutes.
  5. Rest and Slice: Allow your Stromboli to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing to let the fillings set, making it easier to cut neat, delicious pieces.

Notes

  • Use room temperature dough for easier stretching and less tearing.
  • Don’t overstuff to prevent leaking and rolling difficulty.
  • Seal edges well by pinching and tucking the ends to keep fillings inside while baking.
  • Brush liberally with egg wash to create a golden, crisp crust.
  • Slice with a serrated knife for clean cuts without squishing the fillings.
