Italian Stromboli


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

For the Stromboli:

  • 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • ½ pound sliced salami
  • ½ pound sliced pepperoni
  • ½ pound sliced capicola (or your favorite cured meat)
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds

For the Topping:

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

For Serving:

  • Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

Preparation:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

  1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle (about 10×14 inches).
  2. Ensure the dough is evenly rolled out to avoid uneven baking.

Step 3: Layer the Fillings

  1. Begin by layering the salami slices evenly across the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  2. Add the pepperoni and capicola slices on top of the salami.
  3. Lay down the provolone cheese slices, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
  4. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and fennel seeds evenly over the fillings for added flavor.

Step 4: Roll the Dough

  1. Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.
  2. Pinch the seams and ends to seal the Stromboli securely. This prevents the filling from leaking during baking.

Step 5: Apply the Egg Wash

  1. Place the rolled Stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Brush the top and sides with beaten egg to create a golden, glossy crust.
  3. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for extra flavor.

Step 6: Bake the Stromboli

  1. Bake the Stromboli in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

COOKING Note:

  • Sealing the Dough: Ensure the edges are sealed tightly to keep the fillings intact during baking.
  • Customizing Ingredients: Feel free to swap the meats or cheeses with your favorites, like turkey, ham, or cheddar.
  • Rolling Tip: Roll the dough evenly and tightly to ensure the Stromboli bakes uniformly.
