Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Sauces

  • 1 store-bought pizza dough (approx. 1214 oz)
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Cheeses

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Meats

  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup sliced salami

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced bell peppers
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface, aiming for an even thickness that will bake nicely without being too dense.
  2. Layer the Sauce and Fillings: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about an inch around the edges. Next, add the mozzarella cheese followed by your chosen meats and veggies, distributing everything evenly for consistent flavor in each bite.
  3. Roll and Seal: Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough up jelly-roll style. Press the seams firmly to seal and tuck the ends underneath to prevent fillings from spilling out during baking.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the rolled stromboli onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the outside with egg wash and a drizzle of olive oil, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning for a perfectly golden and flavorful crust.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Melty: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbling.

Notes

  • Make sure your sauce isn’t too thick or watery to avoid soggy dough or dryness.
  • Rolling the stromboli tightly ensures the filling stays inside and slices neatly.
  • Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup effortless.
  • Don’t overfill to avoid leaks; balance is key.
  • Let the stromboli rest 5-10 minutes after baking for clean slices and better filling set.
