Ingredients

Scale

Stromboli

  • 1 Refrigerated Pizza Crust (about 13 oz)
  • 1/4 cup Pizza Sauce for brushing
  • 1/4 lb Thinly Sliced Deli Ham
  • 1/4 lb Sliced Deli Salami
  • 1/4 lb Sliced Deli Pepperoni
  • 3 Cups Grated Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp Butter, melted
  • Garlic Powder, to sprinkle
  • Dried Parsley, to sprinkle

For Serving

  • Additional Pizza Sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the stromboli.
  2. Prepare Dough: Roll the pizza crust out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush evenly with 1/4 cup of the pizza sauce.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Arrange a layer of thinly sliced deli ham over the sauce, followed by 1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese. Add a layer of salami and cheese, then a layer of pepperoni and the remaining cheese. Sprinkle the mixture with Italian seasoning.
  4. Roll and Seal: Carefully roll the crust over the fillings, ensuring to pinch all the seams closed tightly to prevent fillings from spilling out during baking.
  5. Add Toppings: Brush the melted butter over the surface of the rolled stromboli. Sprinkle garlic powder and dried parsley on top. Cut small slits on the top to allow steam to escape while baking.
  6. Bake: Place the stromboli in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Rest and Serve: Let the stromboli sit for 5 minutes after baking so the cheese sets, making it easier to slice. Slice and serve with warmed pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure to pinch all seams thoroughly to avoid filling leakage during baking.
  • Letting the stromboli rest after baking helps the cheese firm up for clean slicing.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • You can customize fillings by adding vegetables or other types of cheese if desired.
  • Check the stromboli after 15 minutes to avoid over-browning if your oven runs hot.
