Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough
- 1 lb pizza dough
Pepperoni
- 1 cup pepperoni slices
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Italian Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Parmesan Cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Marinara Sauce
- 1 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Start by rolling out your pizza dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. You want it to be large enough to hold all your delicious fillings.
- Add the Fillings: Layer the pepperoni slices evenly over the dough, followed by a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the top for extra flavor.
- Roll It Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough up into a log shape, making sure to tuck in the sides as you go. This will help keep all those tasty fillings inside.
- Seal the Edges: Pinch the ends and seams to seal the stromboli tightly. This step is crucial to prevent any cheese from leaking out while it bakes.
- Brush and Bake: Place the rolled stromboli on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- Keep It Even: Ensure your pepperoni and cheese are evenly distributed for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Don’t Skip the Seasoning: Italian seasoning is key for enhancing the overall taste, so be generous.
- Let It Cool: Allow the stromboli to cool for a few minutes before slicing to avoid spilling the gooey cheese.
- Use a Pizza Cutter: For clean slices, a pizza cutter works wonders and keeps the filling intact.
- Experiment with Fillings: Feel free to get creative with fillings; the possibilities are endless!
