Cheesy Pepperoni Stromboli Recipe
Servings: 4-6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20-25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 refrigerated pizza dough (13.8 oz or similar size)
- 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20-25 slices of pepperoni
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: Red pepper flakes for spice
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Roll Out the Dough:
Unroll the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Stretch it gently into a rectangle (about 10×14 inches). - Assemble the Stromboli:
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Layer the pepperoni slices over the cheese.
- Season and Roll:
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning over the pepperoni. Carefully roll the dough into a log starting from one of the longer sides. Pinch the seam and ends to seal the roll. - Prepare for Baking:
Place the stromboli seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden crust. Optional: Sprinkle a bit more Parmesan or seasoning on top. - Bake:
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the golden brown stromboli is cooked through. - Slice and Serve:
Let the stromboli cool for a few minutes before slicing into 1-inch pieces. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
