# What You’ll Need to Cook:
→ Dough and Base
01 -
450 g refrigerated pizza dough
02 -
15 g flour, for dusting
→ Sauce and Cheese
03 -
240 ml marinara or pizza sauce
04 -
200 g shredded mozzarella cheese
→ Meat
05 -
20–25 slices pepperoni
→ Finishings
06 -
1 egg, beaten
07 -
1 tsp Italian seasoning
08 -
15 g grated Parmesan cheese
# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Lightly dust the work surface with flour and roll pizza dough into a 25 x 36 cm rectangle.
03 -
In a small bowl, beat the egg thoroughly.
04 -
Spread marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 2.5 cm border on all sides. Distribute mozzarella cheese uniformly over the sauce, then arrange pepperoni slices evenly atop the cheese.
05 -
Starting at the long edge, roll dough tightly into a log, jelly roll-style. Pinch the seam firmly and tuck the ends under.
06 -
Carefully transfer the stromboli to the prepared baking sheet, placing it seam-side down. Brush the top with egg wash, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese.
07 -
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust becomes golden brown and crisp.
08 -
Remove stromboli from the oven and allow it to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing into portions.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
For a vegetarian version, substitute with vegetarian pepperoni or omit meat entirely.
02 -
Ensure the stromboli rests after baking to make slicing cleaner and retain filling.
03 -
Marinara can be replaced with pesto, Alfredo, or other pizza sauces to vary the flavor profile.
