Italian Salami and Pepperoni: For that classic taste Italian salami and pepperoni are the go-to cured meats in this Stromboli. If you prefer a lighter option you can choose turkey or chicken alternatives or mix in deli meats that tickle your fancy.
Mozzarella Cheese: Mozzarella cheese is chosen for its melty texture and mild flavor. However feel free to explore cheese options such as provolone, cheddar or a blend of cheeses to add some complexity to the taste.
Egg Wash: Before baking your Stromboli give it a brown color and a slightly glossy finish by brushing it with beaten egg. This step also helps seal the edges for a neater presentation.
Italian Seasoning: To add depth of flavor to your Stromboli creation Italian seasoning comes into play with its blend of herbs, like basil oregano and thyme. You have the option to adjust the quantity according to your preference or even utilize herbs if they are accessible.
Grated Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkling Parmesan cheese, on top not only imparts a savory element but also contributes to achieving a crispy golden crust. You can choose between pre-packaged grated Parmesan.
Chopped Parsley (Optional): If you desire a burst of herb flavor and a touch of green you may consider adding freshly chopped parsley as a garnish. It provides a contrast, to the richness of the Stromboli’s filling. However please note that this is purely optional and can be omitted if desired.
Steps To Make Easy Stromboli:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Take the pizza dough. Stretch it out on the baking sheet. Now generously spread the pizza sauce making sure to leave 2 inches of space from the edges to create a perfect seal.
Step 3: It’s time, for layering! Start with some mouthwatering salami slices, followed by an amount of mozzarella cheese and top it off with a sprinkle of pepperoni for that extra flair.
Step 4: Roll up the Stromboli just like you would roll cinnamon rolls. Pinch the edges together to seal it and fold it where the seam is ensuring that all that cheesy goodness remains inside. Place your Stromboli on the baking sheet with the seam side facing down.
Step 5: Now give it a glaze by gently brushing the beaten egg over its surface. Don’t forget to make cuts, across the top for that rustic appearance.
Step 6: Add some seasoning and grated parmesan cheese for those finishing touches that will enhance its flavor.
Step 7: Bake this masterpiece for 15 to 20 minutes or until it turns gloriously golden brown on top. The enticing aroma will make you eagerly await its completion.
Step 8: Out of the oven slice it into portions. Serve alongside some warm pizza sauce. Get ready to savor a slice!
