Pizza-Stuffed Stromboli

delicious Pizza-Stuffed Stromboli using pizza dough, sliced cheese, ham, pepperoni, salami, pasta sauce, diced peppers, and a flavorful garlic butter glaze:

Ingredients:

For the Stromboli:

  • 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 6 slices of your favorite cheese (e.g., mozzarella, provolone)
  • 6 slices of ham
  • 12 slices of pepperoni
  • 12 slices of salami
  • 1/2 cup pasta sauce
  • 1/2 cup diced peppers (bell peppers or any color you prefer)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Garlic Butter Glaze:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or use dried parsley)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (adjust to taste)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Butter Glaze:
    • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
    • Add minced garlic, chopped parsley, and Italian seasoning to the melted butter.
    • Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Dough:
    • Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangular shape. It should be approximately 12×16 inches or as large as you prefer.
  4. Layer the Ingredients:
    • Place the slices of cheese in the center of the dough, leaving a border along the edges.
    • Layer the ham, pepperoni, salami, diced peppers, and pasta sauce on top of the cheese.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Fold and Seal:
    • Carefully fold the sides of the dough over the filling to encase it.
    • Tuck in the ends to create a sealed rectangular shape.
    • Place the Stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush with Garlic Butter:
    • Brush the top of the Stromboli with the prepared garlic butter glaze, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
  7. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the Stromboli is golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Rest and Slice:
    • Allow the Stromboli to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling set and makes it easier to cut.
  9. Serve:
    • Slice the Pizza-Stuffed Stromboli into portions and serve. You can enjoy it as a meal or a delicious snack.
