Homemade Stromboli

Homemade Stromboli

This appetizer represents the perfect blend of Italian culinary tradition and home-cooked comfort.

  • Total Time: 47 minute
  • Yield: 6-8 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Stromboli Base:

  • 1 pound pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/4 pound sliced pepperoni
  • 1/4 pound sliced cooked Italian sausage
  • 1/4 pound sliced deli ham
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 egg, beaten for egg wash
  • Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing your workspace. Lightly flour a clean surface where you'll roll out the pizza dough. This prevents sticking and makes rolling easier.
  2. Carefully roll the pizza dough into a rectangular shape, aiming for approximately 10x14 inches. Take your time to create an even thickness throughout.
  3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a crucial 1-inch border around all edges. This border helps create a perfect seal when rolling.
  4. Layer the meats strategically. Start with pepperoni, then add the cooked Italian sausage, and finish with deli ham. The layering ensures each bite is packed with flavor.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the meats. Distribute the Italian seasoning evenly to infuse every layer with aromatic herbs.
  6. Begin rolling from one long side, creating a tight log. Roll slowly and carefully to ensure a compact, even roll without tearing the dough.
  7. Pinch the seams and ends firmly to seal in all the delicious ingredients. This prevents the filling from leaking during baking.
