Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 10–12 slices of salami
- 12 thin slices of deli ham
- 12–13 slices of pepperoni
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- Additional pizza sauce for dipping
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Dough: Roll the room-temperature pizza dough out into a large rectangle (about 12×14 inches) on a piece of parchment paper. Transfer the parchment paper with the dough to a baking sheet.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the perimeter. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Add Meats: Layer the salami, ham, and pepperoni evenly over the cheese.
- Roll and Seal: Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg. Roll up the dough tightly like a jelly roll, starting from one long edge. Pinch the edges together and tuck them under the stromboli to seal.
- Egg Wash and Season: Brush the top of the stromboli with the remaining beaten egg. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.
- Score and Bake: Gently make shallow diagonal cuts into the top of the stromboli every 2 inches. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Check the bottom for browning to ensure it’s cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Let the stromboli sit for a few minutes before slicing. Use a sharp serrated knife to cut into 8-10 slices. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
