Stromboli is one of my favorite foods to make when I crave a takeaway pizza. It feels like a treat and it takes just 30 minutes from start to finish. Stromboli is an Italian-American food which is like a cross between a sandwich and a pizza. It’s usually made from pizza or bread dough filled with cheese, meat or vegetables.
My stromboli recipe is super easy to make because I use store bought pizza dough. Start by rolling out the dough into a rectangular shape which covers the baking sheet leaving an inch around the edges. Then assemble the stromboli by spreading marinara sauce along the middle and top with cheese, ham and pepperoni.
To make Stromboli, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat oven to 400 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the dough into a rectangular shape which covers the baking sheet and leaves a 1 inch border around the edges.
Spread the marinara sauce, half of the mozzarella, pepperoni and ham along the middle of the dough. Sprinkle the remaining mozarella on top.
Cut ½ inch strips on the sides of the dough with a pizza cutter. Then alternatively criss cross one strip of dough from each side to make a pattern, folding the edges over on the top and bottom of the stromboli.
Brush the egg all around the dough.
Bake the stromboli in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Cut into slices and sprinkle some chopped parsley on top. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
