Ingredients
1 lb pizza dough
4 slices provolone cheese
15 slices Genoa salami
20 slices pepperoni
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg
1 tbsp water
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1 cup marinara sauce (for serving)
Instructions
1. Let the pizza dough come to room temperature so it’s easier to roll out.
2. Lightly flour your surface and roll the dough into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
3. Layer provolone slices evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
4. Add Genoa salami, then pepperoni, followed by shredded mozzarella.
5. Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, like a jelly roll. Pinch the seam and ends to seal.
6. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down.
7. Cut shallow diagonal slits on top of the Stromboli to vent steam.
8. Beat the egg with water and brush it over the surface.
9. Sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder.
10. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
11. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
12. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve with warm marinara sauce.
Notes
Make sure the dough is room temperature before rolling to prevent tearing.
Don’t overload with fillings — less is more when it comes to sealing and even baking.
For a crispier crust, bake directly on a pizza stone or steel if you have one.
