1. Prepare the Dough
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 12×16 inches.
2. Layer the Fillings
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving about 1 inch of border around the edges.
- Sprinkle mozzarella evenly, then add layers of pepperoni and salami.
- Dust with Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
3. Roll It Up
- Starting from the long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log (like a jelly roll).
- Pinch the seam closed and tuck the ends under.
4. Egg Wash & Bake
- Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush with beaten egg for a glossy finish.
- Sprinkle with a little extra Parmesan or herbs if desired.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Slice and Serve
- Let Stromboli rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing into thick rounds.
- Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Tips for the Best Stromboli
- Don’t overload with sauce inside — too much will make it soggy.
- Seal the dough tightly to prevent cheese from leaking out.
- For an extra kick, add crushed red pepper flakes inside.
- Make mini Stromboli rolls for parties or game-day snacks.
Serving Ideas
- Serve alongside a fresh Caesar salad or roasted veggies.
- Pair with a side of marinara or Alfredo dipping sauce.
- Make it a platter with antipasto: olives, cured meats, and cheeses.
