Ingredients
 

Dough and Sauce

  • Refrigerated Pizza Crust A quick and easy dough base for Stromboli.
  • Pizza Sauce Adds a tangy tomato flavor inside and for dipping.

Filling

  • Thinly Sliced Deli Ham Adds a slightly sweet, smoky flavor.
  • Sliced Deli Salami Gives a rich, spiced Italian flavor.
  • Sliced Deli Pepperoni Brings bold, classic pizzeria-style taste.
  • Grated Mozzarella Cheese Melts beautifully for a gooey, stretchy texture.
  • Italian Seasoning Aromatic blend of herbs to enhance flavor.

Topping

  • Butter, melted Brushed on top for a golden, crispy crust.
  • Garlic Powder Adds a rich, savory depth to the crust.
  • Dried Parsley Sprinkled on top for color and a hint of freshness.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Roll out the pizza dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with 1/4 cup of pizza sauce.
  • Layer the fillings: First, add ham and 1 cup of mozzarella. Then, layer salami with another cup of mozzarella, followed by pepperoni and the remaining cheese. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
  • Carefully roll up the dough into a log and pinch the seams closed to seal.
  • Brush the top with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder and dried parsley. Cut small slits on top to allow steam to escape while baking.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  • Let it sit for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the cheese set and makes cutting easier.
  • Slice and serve with warmed pizza sauce for dipping.
