Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated pizza dough or homemade pizza dough
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded provolone or Italian cheese blend
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • All-purpose flour (for rolling dough)
  • Marinara or pizza sauce (for dipping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 10×14 inches.
  3. Sprinkle mozzarella and provolone evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border all around.
  4. Layer the pepperoni slices over the cheese.
  5. Sprinkle Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder over the layers.
  6. Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log, pinching the seams and ends to seal.
  7. Place the stromboli seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  8. Whisk the egg and brush it over the top for a glossy finish.
  9. Cut 4–5 shallow slits across the top to let steam escape.
  10. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with warm marinara on the side.

Notes

  • For variations, substitute pepperoni with sausage, ham, or cooked bacon. For a veggie version, sauté mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions.
  • If you prefer extra heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes before rolling.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes to keep the crust crisp.
