Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Dough and Toppings

  • 1 can refrigerated pizza dough (enough for 1 pizza)
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
  • ⅓ cup marinara sauce (or pizza sauce)
  • 4 ounces sliced ham
  • 4 ounces salami (slices)
  • 4 ounces pepperoni (slices)

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and aid in easy clean-up.
  2. Roll Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the refrigerated pizza dough into a 12×16-inch rectangle, ensuring even thickness for consistent baking.
  3. Apply Sauce: Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides and a 3-inch border at the long side farthest from you to allow for rolling.
  4. Add Cheese and Meats: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer with the sliced ham, salami, and pepperoni. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese for extra gooeyness.
  5. Roll Stromboli: Carefully roll the pizza dough from the side nearest you toward the opposite side, keeping it tight without pushing out the fillings; stop just before the end.
  6. Prepare Egg Wash and Seal: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, water, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the exposed dough edges where you will seal, then pinch the edges together firmly to seal the Stromboli.
  7. Place and Brush: Transfer the Stromboli seam side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top and seam with the remaining egg wash to ensure a shiny, golden finish.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 24 to 28 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough is rolled evenly to avoid uneven baking.
  • You can customize fillings with other meats or vegetables to suit your taste.
  • Let the Stromboli cool for a few minutes before slicing to avoid fillings spilling out.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
