Ingredients
  

Dough and Filling Ingredients
  • 1 lb Pizza dough (store-bought) Convenient for busy nights.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese For a gooey center.
  • ½ cup sliced pepperoni Can be substituted with veggies.
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese For added creaminess.
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning Enhances flavor.
  • 1 large egg For egg wash.
For Serving
  • 1 cup Marinara sauce For dipping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a rectangle, about 14x10 inches.
  3. Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and layer the pepperoni on top, then add the Italian seasoning.
  5. Carefully roll the dough from one long end to the other, tucking in the sides as you go.
  6. Pinch and seal the ends of the dough to prevent leaking.
  7. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of your Stromboli.
  8. Cut a few slits on top for steam to escape.
Baking
  1. Place your Stromboli on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 25–30 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into thick pieces.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

You can assemble the Stromboli ahead of time and refrigerate. Substitute pepperoni with veggies for picky eaters. Freezer-friendly when unbaked.
