Pepperoni and Cheese Stromboli
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12x8 inch rectangle.
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, then layer the pepperoni slices on top.
- Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough into a log, pinching the seams to seal.
- Place the stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the top of the stromboli with olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
- Using a sharp knife, make 3-4 diagonal slits on top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
