Ingredients
  

Dough and Cheeses
  • 1 pound pizza dough Store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded Stretchy, gooey goodness
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated For an extra savory touch
Fillings
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni, sliced Adds a deliciously spicy flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Infuses the stromboli with aromatic herbs
For Finishing
  • 1 large egg, beaten For a beautiful golden crust
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce For dipping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle on a floured surface, about 12x14 inches.
  3. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Layer the pepperoni slices over the cheese evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning over the pepperoni.
  6. Roll the dough from one long side to the other, tucking the ends in, creating a tight package.
  7. Place the stromboli seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
  8. Brush the top of the stromboli with the beaten egg.
  9. Cut small slits on the top to allow steam to escape.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

Brushing the dough with garlic-infused olive oil enhances flavor. Add veggies like bell peppers or olives for customization. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for later use.
