Italian Stromboli – The Cheesy, Meaty Family Favorite

Optional for Serving

  • Marinara sauce
  • Ranch dressing
  • Garlic butter

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle.

Step 2: Add the Fillings

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Layer the ham, salami, and pepperoni evenly over the cheese.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning on top.

Step 3: Roll the Stromboli

Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.

Pinch the seams and ends closed to keep the filling inside.

Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Add the Topping

Brush the top with beaten egg.

Mix melted butter and garlic powder, then brush over the dough.

Cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and beautifully crisp.

Allow it to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Step 6: Serve

Slice into thick pieces and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
