4. Roll It Up

  1. Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, tucking the filling inside as you go.
  2. Pinch the seam and ends to seal the stromboli. Place it seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  3. Use a sharp knife to cut a few small slits on top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape during baking.

5. Bake to Golden Perfection

  1. Brush the top and sides of the stromboli with olive oil for a golden, crispy crust.
  2. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes (if desired).
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Cool and Serve

  1. Let the stromboli cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set.
  2. Slice into thick pieces and serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Serving Suggestions

  • For Dinner: Pair with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
  • At Gatherings: Cut into bite-sized pieces and serve as an appetizer or party snack.
  • With Extras: Add banana peppers, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor variety.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Dough: If possible, use fresh pizza dough from your local pizzeria—it’s often better than store-bought.
  • Don’t Overfill: Avoid overloading the stromboli with too many fillings, as it may burst while baking.
  • Experiment with Sauces: Swap marinara for pesto or Alfredo sauce for a fun twist.
  • Make Mini Strombolis: Divide the dough into smaller portions for individual servings—perfect for kids or parties.
