Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 package Pizza Dough Store-bought dough saves time; homemade offers freshness and enhances the taste.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce Adds moisture and flavor; use extra for delicious dipping on the side.
  • 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Essential for that gooey, melty texture; fresh mozzarella melts beautifully.
  • 1 cup Sliced Pepperoni Provides a spicy kick and richness; can be substituted with ham, turkey, or sautéed veggies for a vegetarian option.
For the Toppings
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Enhances flavor and aids in achieving a beautiful golden-brown crust.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Adds a lovely aromatic flavor that brightens the dish.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Infuses the stromboli with classic Italian herb flavors for that authentic taste.
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese Adds a nutty, salty finish that complements the other ingredients perfectly.
For the Egg Wash
  • 1 large Egg Brush on for a glossy, golden crust; skipping it is fine, but the finish will differ.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out your pizza dough into a rectangle measuring approximately 10x14 inches.
  3. Spread a generous layer of marinara sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving about a one-inch border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the sauce, followed by a layer of sliced pepperoni.
  5. Carefully roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, forming a log shape.
  6. Place the rolled stromboli seam side down onto your prepared baking sheet. Brush the surface with an egg wash.
  7. Sprinkle the top of your stromboli with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Cut several diagonal slits across the top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape.
  9. Transfer the baking sheet to your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For great make-ahead meals, wrap unbaked stromboli tightly in foil and freeze. Bake straight from frozen, adding extra time as needed.
