Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Prepare the Dough:
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 10×14 inches. - Layer the Fillings:
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then evenly distribute the pepperoni slices. Add a layer of grated Parmesan, and sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic powder on top. - Roll the Stromboli:
Starting from the long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, sealing the edges by pinching them together. Place the seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. - Add the Egg Wash:
Brush the top of the stromboli with the beaten egg to give it a golden, shiny finish when baked. - Bake:
Using a sharp knife, make a few diagonal slits on top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. - Cool and Serve:
Let the stromboli cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Add extra fillings like sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or cooked sausage for variety.
- Use a mix of cheeses like provolone or cheddar for different flavors.
- Make sure to seal the edges tightly to prevent the cheese from oozing out.
