Easy Stromboli Recipe Variations

• 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.

How To Make It

Heres how to make this delicious stromboli. You can find the full ingredients list along with instructions on the recipe card below.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees

First, roll out the pizza dough with a rolling pin on a slightly floured surface.

Add a slightly overlapping layer of provolone cheese and ham. Add the salami and pepperoni slices followed by another layer of provolone cheese.

After that, jelly roll the dough horizontally. Pinch the ends closed and tuck them under the dough. Place the the dough seem side down onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Next, make an egg wash by beating together one egg and a little bit of water and brush the top with a thin layer. Using a sharp knife, make about 5 evenly spread out slits down the top of the bread for ventilation. Sprinkle the top with garlic powder, Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese.

After that, place it in a 400° oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked all the way through.

Finally, let it cool for about 15 minutes. Slice into about 1" pieces, serve and enjoy!
