When I first made the Ultimate Deluxe Stromboli, I couldn’t believe how easily it came together and how flavorful it turned out. This isn’t just any dish; it’s a showstopper! Imagine biting into a golden-brown crust filled with layers of gooey cheese, savory Italian meats, and crisp vegetables.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 8 slices of pepperoni
  • 8 slices of Genoa salami
  • 8 slices of ham
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup sliced green bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup sliced red onions
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 egg for egg wash

Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 12x16 inches, to ensure even filling distribution.
  • Spread 1/4 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border (about an inch) around the edges. Lay down 8 slices each of pepperoni, Genoa salami, and ham, ensuring they’re evenly distributed. Sprinkle 1/2 cup each of sliced black olives, green bell peppers, and red onions across the meat. Finally, top everything with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded provolone, and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan evenly on top.
  • Begin carefully rolling the dough from one long side to the other, forming a log. While rolling, tightly hold the fillings in place. Seal off the ends securely and pinch the seams shut to prevent any leaks during baking.
  • Place the Stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Mix 1 tablespoon olive oil with 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Brush this mixture over the top of the dough. Use a sharp knife to make small slits for steam to escape. Finally, brush the log with a beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is beautifully golden brown.
  • Once baked, allow the Stromboli to cool for a few minutes. Slice it diagonally for clean cuts and prevent fillings from spilling out. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or garlic butter.

Notes

  • Don’t Overfill: Use just enough filling to ensure it rolls up easily and bakes evenly.
  • Seal Well: Pinch the seams tightly to prevent any cheese or sauce from spilling out.
  • Egg Wash Magic: An egg wash gives it that golden, professional look.
  • Steam Vents: Don’t skip the slits! They ensure the crust doesn’t get soggy.
