Ingredients

Scale

Stromboli Dough

  • 1 lb refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade sourdough stromboli dough)

Filling

  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce plus extra for dipping
  • 6 slices deli ham
  • 6 slices Genoa salami
  • 6 slices pepperoni
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Finishing

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape, about 12×16 inches.
  2. Layer the filling: Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Layer the deli ham, Genoa salami, and pepperoni evenly over the sauce. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses on top, then dust with Italian seasoning for flavor.
  3. Roll the stromboli: Carefully roll the dough up tightly from one long side to the other to enclose the filling, creating a log shape. Pinch the edges to seal and tuck the ends under to prevent the filling from leaking out.
  4. Apply egg wash and score: Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the entire surface with the beaten egg to give a golden, shiny crust. Using a sharp knife, make a few diagonal slits on top to allow steam to escape during baking.
  5. Bake: Drizzle the top with olive oil for extra crispness and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute the deli meats with your favorite cured meats or use all one type if preferred.
  • Homemade dough or sourdough can add additional flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer a spicier stromboli, add crushed red pepper flakes to the filling or Italian seasoning.
  • Make sure to seal the edges well to avoid any filling leakage during baking.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven for crispiness or microwaved for convenience.
