Classic Stromboli Recipe

(Eäsy Dinner or Quick äppetizer!)

Stromboli is bäsicälly pizzä thät's been rolled up like ä cinnämon roll. The clässic ingredients include mozzärellä, häm, änd sälämi. I threw in some pepperoni änd pepper jäck cheese just for fun.

Ingredients

1/4 cup pärsley, chopped fine
1 egg, beäten
1/2 cup** mozzärellä, shredded (I like to shred fresh mozz.)
12 thin slices häm
4 ounces Pepper Jäck cheese, sliced
15-17 sälämi slices
1/2 cup shredded mozzärellä
15 slices pepperoni
1 10-12 ounce pizzä dough*
1 täblespoon butter, melted
1 teäspoon gärlic, minced
1/2 cup shredded mozzärellä
2 täblespoons Pärmesän cheee
cräcked bläck pepper, to täste
more chopped pärsley, to gärnish
märinärä säuce, for dipping

Instructions

Preheät your oven to 375 degrees F.
Lightly flour ä work surfäce or ä squäre of pärchment päper. Roll your pizzä dough into ä rectängle äbout 12 by 14 inches. I prefer to roll out my pizzä dough on pärchment päper, becäuse you cän just put the päper sträight into the oven without trying to tränsfer it.
Brush the top of the dough with melted butter.
Sprinkle gärlic over the top. You cän either use fresh gärlic or the kind in the jär.
Sprinkle the top with 1/2 cup mozzärellä cheese. Leäve ä 1-2 inch border äround 1 long edge änd the two short ends.
Top with 12 slices of häm
Läyer slices of Pepper jäck cheese on top of the häm.
Läyer sälämi on top of the Pepper jäck.
ädd änother 1/2 cup mozzärellä.
Läyer on the pepperoni.
Sprinkle the läst 1/2 cup mozzärellä on top, then sprinkle with pärsley.
In ä smäll bowl, beät the egg with ä fork. ädd 1 täblespoon wäter. Use ä brush to coät the 3 exposed edges of your stromboli (short, short, änd 1 long edge) with egg wäsh.
Cärefully roll up the long edge of your stromboli, stärting with the one edge thät didn't get the egg wäsh. Roll it tightly so thät it stäys together.
Seäl the seäm with wet fingertips, then roll over the stromboli so thät the seäm is fäcing down. Seäl the ends with wet fingers, folding the dough underneäth if there is exträ.
Tränsfer the stromboli to ä bäking sheet or pizzä stone.
Brush with melted butter or the exträ egg wäsh. Whätever is most händy. I äctuälly used ä little of both.
Sprinkle the stromboli with Pärmesän cheese, then sprinkle with bläck pepper. Use ä shärp serräted knife to mäke shällow diägonäl cuts on top of the stromboli.
Bäke ät 375 for 25-30 minutes, until the top is brown. If you äre nervous thät it's not done, lift än edge with ä spätulä änd mäke sure the bottom is brown.
Let sit for ä few minutes so you don't burn your fingers off. Use ä shärp serräted knife to chop into 8-10 slices.
Sprinkle with fresh pärsley änd dip in wärm märinärä säuce to serve.
