What You Need To Make This Deluxe Stromboli Recipe?

Mild Italian Sausage: This gives a savory, slightly spicy flavor. You can opt for hot sausage. If you like more heat.

Green Bell Pepper & Yellow Onion: Adds a fresh crunch. And sweetness. Perfect for balancing. The rich flavors of the meat. And cheese.

Frozen Pizza Dough: Convenient and easy to use. But feel free to use homemade dough if you prefer.

Pizza Sauce: Provides a tangy base. That ties all the flavors together.

Mozzarella & Parmesan Cheese: Mozzarella melts beautifully. While Parmesan adds a nice sharpness.

Pepperoni, Salami, and Capicola Ham: A trio of cured meats. That brings different levels of spice. And flavor.

Mushrooms & Green Olives: Adds an earthy. And a tangy note to the stromboli.

Egg Wash: Ensures a golden, shiny crust.

Garlic Powder & Italian Seasoning: Gives that authentic Italian flavor.

Steps To Make Deluxe Stromboli:

Step 1: Get your oven going at 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Give it a light spray of nonstick cooking spray. And set it aside.

Step 2: Toppings: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the Italian sausage. Then drain and set aside. In the same skillet, cook the green bell pepper and onion slices for about 3 minutes. Until they start to soften. Then set them aside.

Step 3: Assemble: Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle. About 10×15 inches. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Leaving a 1.5-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle half the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the sauce. Layer on the pepperoni, salami, capicola, mushrooms, cooked sausage, onion, green pepper, and olives. Finish with the remaining cheeses.

Step 4: Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg with a splash of water. Brush the egg wash over the edges of the dough.

Step 5: Roll Up: Starting with a long edge. Roll the dough into a log. Pinching the sides as you go to seal it. If the dough is sticky. Dust your hands with flour.

Step 6: Bake: Carefully transfer the stromboli to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with the remaining egg wash. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Cut a few 2-inch diagonal slits on top. Bake for 25 minutes. Or until the center reaches 200°F.

Step 7: Let the stromboli rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra pizza or marinara sauce, if you like. Enjoy!

Tip:

To make your stromboli even more flavorful. Consider adding a thin layer of pesto. Or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes inside before rolling it up. Pesto adds a rich, herby flavor. That complements the meats. And cheeses perfectly. If you like a bit of heat. Red pepper flakes will give it a nice kick. Also, ensure your dough is at room temperature. Before you start rolling it out. This makes it more pliable. And less likely to tear. Finally, let the stromboli rest. For a few minutes after baking. To allow the cheese to set slightly. Making it easier to slice. Without all the fillings spilling out.
