Easy Stromboli Recipe Variations
I love this recipe made exactly how it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you'd like to.

- Dough- I get dough from my local pizza place for $2. Its so convenient and really cant beat that price. If you;d like to use your own pizza dough recipe, that would be great or just purchase some from your local pizzaria or grocery store.
- Deli Meat- If you cant or don't want to get cold cuts from a local deli, thats fine. They wont be sliced as thin, and the pepperoni will most likely not be as big, but thats really not a problem. You can definitely use prepackaged cold cuts from the grocery store.
- Cheese- Add a little shredded cheese to the top to add another layer of flavor. That cheese will crisp up as it bakes right into the top of the bread.
