Description

Golden-crusted stromboli stuffed with gooey mozzarella, spicy pepperoni, and a savory egg-washed crust—perfect for pizza night elevated.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 8 oz pepperoni slices
  • 2 cups shredded whole milk mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Marinara sauce, for dipping
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll pizza dough into a 10×15″ rectangle on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Layer mozzarella evenly over dough, leaving a 1″ border. Top with pepperoni, then sprinkle Parmesan and Italian seasoning.
  3. Roll dough from the long side, sealing seams and tuck ends underneath. Place seam-side down.
  4. Whisk egg with water and brush evenly over stromboli. Score diagonal slits on top.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbles. Cool 10 minutes before slicing.
  6. Garnish with parsley and serve with warm marinara for dipping.

Notes

  • Brush with garlic butter after baking for extra flavor.
  • Swap in cooked sausage, ham, veggies, or alternative cheeses like fontina or provolone.
  • Assemble ahead, refrigerate for up to 1 day, and bake when ready.
