Delicious Homemade Stromboli Dinner (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1 ball of pizza dough

→ Filling

02 - 15–17 pepperoni slices
03 - 15 slices of salami
04 - 12 slices of thin-cut ham
05 - 1 ½ cups mozzarella, shredded and split

→ Flavorings

06 - 2 tablespoons melted butter, split
07 - ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
09 - 2 minced garlic cloves
10 - 1 beaten egg
11 - 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

→ For Serving

12 - Marinara sauce for dipping on the side

# Instructions:

01 - Heat up your oven to 375°F (190°C) so the crust bakes evenly till golden.
02 - Dust a surface lightly with flour and spread the dough out carefully into a rectangular shape, about 12 x 14 inches. Using parchment underneath can make it simpler.
03 - Stir a tablespoon of melted butter with the minced garlic in a small dish. Spread it all over the rolled-out dough using a brush.
04 - Spread ½ cup mozzarella evenly onto the dough but leave an inch or two free along one side and on both short edges. Next, layer with ham, sprinkle another ½ cup of mozzarella, and then arrange salami followed by pepperoni before finishing with the rest of the cheese.
05 - Brush the long bare edge and short ends with beaten egg. Roll the dough up tightly, starting on the non-egg-washed side, like a jelly roll. Seal the seam by pinching it and fold the ends to close them.
06 - Mix 2 tablespoons of leftover melted butter with garlic powder, Parmesan, and parsley. Brush this over the surface of the roll. With a sharp serrated knife, cut light diagonal slashes every couple of inches across the top.
07 - Place the roll onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake it for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top turns a lovely crispy gold-brown.
08 - Let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice it into 8 pieces. Pair it with warm marinara sauce and enjoy dipping each slice.

# Notes:

01 - To stop the dough from shrinking, let it come to room temp before rolling it out.
02 - Prep ahead by assembling it completely and storing in the fridge for up to 4 hours before baking.
