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!
