Ingredients
Scale
Meats:
- 1/2 pound (226 grams) sliced deli ham
- 1/2 pound (226 grams) sliced salami
Cheeses:
- 1/2 pound (226 grams) sliced provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Base and Seasonings:
- 1 pound (454 grams) pizza dough
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or apply a light grease coating.
- Dust a work surface with flour and transform the pizza dough into a rectangular shape measuring roughly 12×16 inches.
- Apply a delicate layer of marinara sauce across the dough’s surface, maintaining a 1-inch perimeter around the edges.
- Distribute ham, salami, and provolone cheese uniformly over the marinara-covered surface.
- Enhance the filling by sprinkling Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes across the layers.
- Meticulously roll the dough lengthwise into a compact cylindrical form, ensuring a tight configuration.
- Firmly seal the seams and edges by pinching them together to prevent filling from escaping during baking.
- Transfer the rolled Stromboli to the prepared baking sheet, positioning the seam facing downward.
- Create a lustrous golden exterior by gently brushing the surface with beaten egg.
- Carefully score small ventilation slits across the top using a sharp knife to allow steam release.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the exterior achieves a rich golden-brown hue and internal temperature indicates complete cooking.
- Allow the Stromboli to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to enable proper setting and easier serving.
Notes
- Customize the filling by swapping deli meats with vegetarian alternatives like roasted vegetables or plant-based proteins for a meat-free version.
- Ensure the dough is rolled tightly to prevent air pockets and create a compact, well-sealed Stromboli.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like mozzarella, fontina, or ricotta to enhance flavor complexity and texture.
- Use a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet to achieve an extra crispy, golden-brown exterior that adds delightful crunch to every bite.
