# Ingredients:
For the stromboli
01 -
1 lb (450 g) pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
02 -
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, for rolling if needed
03 -
1/3 cup (80 ml) pizza sauce, plus more for dipping
04 -
1 1/2 cups (170 g) shredded low-moisture mozzarella
05 -
6 slices deli ham, patted dry
06 -
18-24 thin slices pepperoni
07 -
6 slices provolone cheese
08 -
8 thin slices Genoa salami
09 -
1 teaspoon dried oregano
10 -
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
For the crust
11 -
1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
12 -
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
13 -
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
14 -
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
# Instructions:
01 -
Place a baking sheet in the oven and heat to 400°F. Let the dough sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes if it is cold.
02 -
Set the dough on parchment paper and roll it into a 10x14-inch rectangle. Dust lightly with flour only if it sticks.
03 -
Spread the sauce in a thin layer, leaving a 1-inch border on the short sides and a 2-inch border at the far long edge. Layer mozzarella, ham, pepperoni, provolone, salami, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
04 -
Starting from the long edge closest to you, roll the dough into a snug log. Pinch the seam and ends closed, then place it seam side down on the parchment.
05 -
Brush the top with egg wash. Sprinkle with parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder, then cut 4-5 shallow diagonal slits across the top.
06 -
Slide the parchment onto the hot baking sheet. Bake for 22-26 minutes, until deeply golden and bubbling through the slits. Rest 10-15 minutes before slicing and serve with warm sauce.
# Good to know:
