How to Make Stromboli
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Preheating is key to a perfectly baked Stromboli! You’ll want that crispy crust for the best experience!
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.
- Gently stretch and roll your dough, let it relax a bit if it’s too springy! You want it about 1/4 inch thick.
Layer the meats, cheeses, and vegetables evenly on the dough.
- Don’t be shy here; pile on the salami, pepperoni, ham, cheese, and peppers! Just leave about an inch border at the edges.
Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- A couple sprinkles go a long way here! You want that aromatic kick!
Roll the dough tightly into a log, pinching the ends to seal.
- Start at one end and roll it up as tightly as you can. Just think of it like a delicious, savory burrito!
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- This makes for easy cleanup, thank me later!
Brush the top with olive oil and an egg wash.
- This is your secret weapon for that golden color. You can skip the egg wash if you want, but it adds a lovely shine!
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- You’ll want it nicely browned and smelling amazing! Your house is gonna smell like an Italian pizzeria!
Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
- Patience pays off here, don’t burn your mouth on the first slice!

Storage
