Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 ounces (85 grams) pepperoni
- 3 ounces (85 grams) ham
- 3 ounces (85 grams) salami
- 2 cups (227 grams) mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup (113 grams) provolone or parmesan cheese
Fresh Vegetables:
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 onion
- 1 cup (85 grams) mushrooms
Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a toasty 400F (200C), creating the perfect environment for baking.
- Gently stretch the pizza dough into a rectangular shape, ensuring an even 1/4 inch thickness across the surface.
- Artfully arrange slices of savory meats across the dough, creating a uniform layer that covers the entire surface.
- Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese over the meats, followed by a colorful medley of chopped vegetables.
- Dust the entire surface with a fragrant blend of Italian seasoning, infusing the stromboli with robust Mediterranean flavors.
- Carefully roll the dough from one long edge, creating a tight cylindrical shape, pressing and sealing the ends to prevent fillings from escaping.
- Transfer the rolled stromboli to a parchment-lined baking sheet, positioning the seam facing downward to maintain its elegant shape.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior that signals perfect doneness.
Notes
- Customize the filling with your family’s favorite meats, cheeses, and veggies for a personalized dinner experience.
- Prevent soggy bottoms by patting down moisture from ingredients like tomatoes or fresh mozzarella before adding to the dough.
- Enhance flavor by brushing the exterior with garlic-infused olive oil or an egg wash for a shinier, more golden crust.
- Make it vegetarian by swapping meats with roasted vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and spinach for a nutritious alternative.
