Ingredients

Dough and Sauce

  • 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • ½ cup pizza sauce

Meats

  • 28 pepperoni slices (2 ounces)
  • 12 salami slices (2 ounces)

Cheeses

  • 6 ounces mozzarella cheese slices
  • 6 ounces provolone cheese slices

Toppings and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ tablespoon grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s the perfect temperature for baking your stromboli.
  2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the 1 pound of pizza dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 12 by 16 inches. This will give enough space to layer the ingredients and roll tightly.
  3. Spread Sauce: Evenly spread ½ cup of pizza sauce across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to help seal the stromboli during baking.
  4. Add Meats: Layer 28 pepperoni slices and 12 salami slices evenly over the sauce to distribute the flavor throughout.
  5. Add Cheeses: Place 6 ounces each of mozzarella and provolone cheese slices over the meats, covering them completely to ensure a cheesy melt inside.
  6. Roll the Stromboli: Starting at one long edge, carefully roll the dough over the fillings into a tight log. Pinch the edges to seal and tuck the ends underneath to secure the stuffing.
  7. Transfer to Baking Sheet: Place the rolled stromboli seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy cleanup and optimal baking.
  8. Apply Butter and Seasonings: Brush the top with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ tablespoon grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top to add flavor and create a golden crust.
  9. Bake: Bake the stromboli in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
  10. Cool and Slice: Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps the cheese settle and makes slicing easier. Slice into 1-inch thick pieces and serve warm.

Notes

  • Using a pizza stone instead of a baking sheet can help achieve a crisper crust.
  • Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite meats, vegetables, or cheeses.
  • For a sharper flavor, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes inside before rolling.
  • Store leftovers wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to keep the crust crisp.
