Description
Easy and cheesy stromboli filled with salami, ham, mozzarella, and pizza sauce—perfect party food or family-friendly dinner!
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb. pizza dough (I used my fail-proof recipe)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
- 9 slices salami
- 7 slices deli honey ham
- 1 egg, beaten
- Dried parsley, optional
- Parmesan cheese, optional
- Extra pizza sauce for dipping, optional
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with non-stick spray.
On the prepared baking sheet, stretch or roll the pizza dough into a 10×16-inch rectangle.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, covering about two-thirds of the surface, lengthwise.
Leave a 3-inch strip of plain dough along one long edge—this will help seal the stromboli when rolled.
Sprinkle half of the grated mozzarella over the sauced section.
Layer on salami slices, followed by honey ham slices, evenly across the cheese.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
In a small bowl, beat the egg thoroughly.
Brush the plain dough strip with beaten egg to help seal the roll.
Fold the two short ends of the dough inward by about an inch, and brush those edges with egg too.
Starting from the long, filled side, roll the stromboli tightly like a jelly roll, ending with the egg-brushed plain strip on the bottom to help seal it shut.
Brush the entire outside of the stromboli with the remaining beaten egg.
Using a sharp knife, cut shallow slats in the top of the dough every 1–2 inches to allow steam to escape.
Optionally, sprinkle with dried parsley and parmesan cheese.
Place the baking sheet in the lower third of the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly on top.
Remove the stromboli from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Cut into even pieces and serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.
Notes
Stromboli is best enjoyed warm, shortly after baking.
Avoid overstuffing, which can cause tears or leaking during baking.
Always rest before slicing to allow the cheese to set slightly.
