Ingredients
Pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
Pepperoni slices
Mozzarella cheese (shredded or sliced)
Provolone cheese (sliced)
Egg (for egg wash)
Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Olive oil or butter (optional, for brushing)
Salt (optional, for seasoning)
Black pepper (optional, for seasoning)
Garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
Italian seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape on a lightly floured surface.
3. Leave a small border around the edges and layer mozzarella and provolone cheese evenly over the dough.
4. Add pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, distributing them evenly.
5. Carefully roll up the dough tightly from one long side, tucking in the edges as you go.
6. Seal the seam and edges by pinching the dough together.
7. Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Brush the surface with egg wash for a golden, shiny crust.
9. Use a sharp knife to cut a few small slits on the top to allow steam to escape.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
11. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
12. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
13. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for a few days or freeze for later use.
14. Enjoy your cheesy pepperoni stromboli as a main dish, party food, or game day snack!
Notes
Let the stromboli rest for a few minutes after baking to keep the cheese from oozing out when slicing.
Brush the top with garlic butter after baking for extra flavor and a beautiful golden crust.
Use parchment paper to help roll the dough tightly and prevent sticking.
