Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Sauce

  • 1 pound frozen pizza dough, thawed (like Pepe’s Bakery or homemade)
  • 3/4 cup jarred marinara sauce

Cheese

  • 8 slices provolone cheese

Meats

  • 1/4 pound thinly sliced large pepperoni (small ones will work too)
  • 1/4 pound thinly sliced Genoa or hard salami
  • 1/4 pound thinly sliced Virginia or baked ham

Optional

  • 1/2 cup banana pepper rings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a cookie sheet and set it aside to prepare for baking the stromboli.
  2. Roll out dough: Using a rolling pin or your hands, roll the thawed pizza dough into a rough 14×12 inch rectangle, ensuring an even thickness for consistent baking.
  3. Layer ingredients: Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough. Layer on the provolone cheese slices, allowing them to overlap slightly. Add all the meats – pepperoni, salami, and ham – and the banana pepper rings if using.
  4. Roll and seal: Starting at the long side, tightly roll up the dough with the fillings inside. Pinch the seam to seal the stromboli and prevent it from opening during baking.
  5. Prepare for baking: Place the rolled stromboli seam side down on the greased baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, make four shallow cuts along the top to allow steam to escape while baking.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and bubbly. Remove from oven, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, bake on a pizza stone or preheated baking steel.
  • You can substitute other Italian meats or add vegetables like bell peppers or onions for variation.
  • Let the stromboli cool for a few minutes before slicing to help the fillings set and prevent spilling.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
