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
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle (about 10×14 inches).
- Ensure the dough is evenly rolled out to avoid uneven baking.
Step 3: Layer the Fillings
- Begin by layering the salami slices evenly across the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Add the pepperoni and capicola slices on top of the salami.
- Lay down the provolone cheese slices, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and fennel seeds evenly over the fillings for added flavor.
Step 4: Roll the Dough
- Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.
- Pinch the seams and ends to seal the Stromboli securely. This prevents the filling from leaking during baking.
Step 5: Apply the Egg Wash
- Place the rolled Stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the top and sides with beaten egg to create a golden, glossy crust.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for extra flavor.
Step 6: Bake the Stromboli
- Bake the Stromboli in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
- 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.
