Italian Stromboli
Ingredients:
1 tube of Pillsbury pizza crust
8 slices of deli ham
10 slices of Genoa salami
12 slices of sandwich pepperoni
8 slices provolone cheese (or use shredded mozzarella)
2 tablespoons of butter
2 minced garlic cloves
2 teaspoons chopped parsley
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Prepare Garlic Butter:
Melt the butter in the microwave. Stir in minced garlic, chopped parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Set the mixture aside.
Preheat the Oven:
Follow the instructions on the pizza dough package to preheat the oven.
Prepare the Baking Sheet:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Roll Out Pizza Crust:
Unroll and stretch the pizza crust to nearly the size of your baking sheet.
Layer the Ingredients:
Begin layering with slices of deli ham, followed by Genoa salami, sandwich pepperoni, and finish with provolone or shredded mozzarella cheese.
Roll the Stromboli:
Roll the pizza dough tightly from one end, lengthwise. Ensure the seam is sealed by pinching the edges, and tuck the ends underneath.
Score the Top:
Use a serrated knife to make a few shallow cuts on top of the stromboli. This allows steam to escape during baking.
Brush with Garlic Butter:
Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the top of the rolled stromboli.
Bake:
Place the stromboli in the oven and bake according to the package instructions for pizza dough. The cooking time is typically the same as a regular pizza.
Serve:
Once the stromboli is golden brown and fully baked, allow it to cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve warm, optionally with marinara sauce for dipping.
Enjoy your delicious homemade Italian Stromboli!
