6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound prepared pizza dough homemade or store-bought
- All-purpose flour for sprinkling
- 16 thin-cut slices Genoa salami about 1/3 pound
- 8 thick-cut slices capicola ham about 1/3 pound
- 16 slices provolone cheese about 1/4 pound
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup Peppadews or roasted red peppers drained
- 1 tablespoon drained capers
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Instructions
Preheat the oven
- Place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat to 400°F (204°C).
Prepare the dough
- Place a 16-inch sheet of parchment paper on the work surface and dust lightly with flour.
- Roll the pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 14 × 11 inches.
Add the filling
- Arrange the salami on the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides and overlapping slices to ensure full coverage.
- Layer the provolone over the salami, followed by the ham and mozzarella.
- Top with Peppadews or roasted red peppers and sprinkle with capers.
Roll and seal
- Brush the dough edges with beaten egg.
- Using the parchment to assist, roll the dough lengthwise into a log so the seam rests on the bottom.
- Pinch the ends to seal and tuck them gently under the roll.
Transfer and prepare for baking
- Lift the parchment sheet and transfer the stromboli to a baking sheet.
- Brush the dough surface with remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
- Using a sharp paring knife, cut diagonal slits across the top at 1-inch intervals.
Bake
- Bake the stromboli for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 25 minutes, or until the exterior is golden and cheese is bubbling through the slits.
Cool and serve
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes.
- Slice along the scored slits and serve warm.
- Stromboli may also be served at room temperature.
