Italian Stromboli (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 1 tube of Pillsbury pizza crust.
02 - 8 slices of deli ham.
03 - 10 slices of Genoa salami.
04 - 12 slices of sandwich pepperoni.
05 - 8 slices provolone cheese or mozzarella (shredded cheese can also be used).
06 - 2 tablespoons butter.
07 - 2 minced garlic cloves.
08 - 2 teaspoons chopped parsley.
09 - 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.

Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the Pillsbury pizza crust package. Melt the butter in the microwave and mix in the minced garlic, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
02 - Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Stretch the pizza crust out to almost the size of your baking sheet.
03 - Layer the deli meats starting with the ham, then the salami followed by the pepperoni. Layer the cheese last.
04 - Roll the Stromboli longwise and ensure the seam is sealed well. Seal the ends by pinching them and molding the excess dough to the underside of the Stromboli.
05 - Score the top a few times with a serrated knife to allow steam to escape while baking. Top the Stromboli with the garlic butter mixture.
06 - Bake the Stromboli according to the instructions on the back of the pizza dough package. Typically, it is the same bake time as for a regular pizza, but do not par-bake it as instructed on the tube.
07 - Allow the Stromboli to cool slightly before slicing. Serve with your favorite marinara or red sauce for dipping.

Notes:

01 - Italian Stromboli is a savory and delicious dish that combines layers of deli meats, cheese, and a garlic butter topping all wrapped in a crispy pizza crust. This recipe is perfect for a family dinner or a party appetizer.
