Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup flour for rolling
- 1 1/2 pounds pizza dough, room temperature
- 1/4 lb sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 lb sliced capicola
- 1/4 lb sliced salami
- 1/4 lb sliced provolone
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp pizza seasoning, divided
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan
- 1 cup pizza sauce, for dipping
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 425˚F (220˚C). This high temperature will ensure your stromboli comes out perfectly golden and crispy.
2️⃣ Prepare your baking sheet. Lightly coat it with cooking spray or sprinkle with cornmeal. The cornmeal not only prevents sticking but also adds a wonderful texture to the finished stromboli. Avoid using both cooking spray and cornmeal.
3️⃣ Roll out the dough. Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 13×9 inches.
4️⃣ Assemble the fillings. Layer the sliced pepperoni evenly over the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges. Next, place the provolone slices over the pepperoni, followed by the capicola. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the capicola and top with the salami slices.
5️⃣ Season your stromboli. Sprinkle garlic powder and 1 tsp of pizza seasoning over the fillings.
6️⃣ Roll it up. Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough jelly roll-style. Tuck the ends inward as you roll to seal the stromboli completely.
7️⃣ Prepare for baking. Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top and sides with the beaten egg, then sprinkle with the remaining pizza seasoning and grated Parmesan.
8️⃣ Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden and crisp.
9️⃣ Cool and serve. Let the stromboli rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with a cup of warm pizza sauce for dipping.
This Homemade Stromboli is more than just a meal; it’s a delicious experience that brings a taste of Italy right to your kitchen. Enjoy every cheesy, savory bite, and watch as it becomes a new favorite in your household!
