Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella, divided
  • 12 thin slices ham
  • 15 slices salami
  • 15–17 slices pepperoni
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even baking and a perfectly golden crust.

2. Prepare the Dough

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 12 x 14 inches. For easier transfer, you can roll the dough directly onto a piece of parchment paper.

3. Add the Garlic Butter Base

In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of melted butter with the minced garlic. Brush this mixture over the entire surface of the dough.

4. Layer the Fillings

  • Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving a 1–2-inch border along one long edge and both short edges.
  • Layer the ham slices, followed by another ½ cup of mozzarella cheese.
  • Add the salami and pepperoni, then sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese on top.

5. Seal and Roll

  • Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it along the exposed edges of the dough.
  • Starting from the long edge without the egg wash, roll the stromboli tightly jelly-roll style.
  • Pinch the seam to seal and tuck the ends under for a neat finish.

6. Add Toppings

  • Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter with garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.
  • Brush this mixture over the top of the stromboli.
  • Use a serrated knife to make shallow diagonal cuts about 2 inches apart along the top.

7. Bake to Perfection

Transfer the stromboli to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

8. Slice and Serve

Allow the stromboli to cool for 5 minutes before slicing it into 8 pieces. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Dough Options: Use store-bought pizza dough for convenience, or make your own if you have extra time.
  • Fillings: Swap out the meats for turkey, roast beef, or even a vegetarian option like sautéed spinach and mushrooms.
  • Cheese Swaps: Try provolone, cheddar, or pepper jack for a spicy twist.
  • Seasoning: Add Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for extra flavor.
  • Make-Ahead: Assemble the stromboli ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold.
