Description
A delicious and cheesy pepperoni stromboli roll that is perfect for a quick meal or snack.
Ingredients
- 500 g pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
- 200 g sliced pepperoni
- 200 g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 100 g shredded provolone cheese
- 40 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 250 ml pizza or marinara sauce (for serving)
- Extra Parmesan cheese, optional
- Red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it into a rectangle approximately 30 × 40 cm.
- Leaving about 2–3 cm around the edges, arrange the pepperoni evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan. Season with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam and ends firmly to seal. Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a sharp knife, make 3–4 shallow diagonal slits across the top to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with beaten egg and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with a little Parmesan and Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover it with foil during the final few minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the stromboli rest for 8–10 minutes. Slice into thick pieces and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For an even cheesier stromboli, add 100 g ricotta or a layer of cream cheese beneath the mozzarella.
- You can also add ham, cooked Italian sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms, black olives, jalapeños, or spinach as filling options.
- Don’t overfill the stromboli to prevent sogginess and leaking during baking.
