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:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Brush with Garlic Butter:
- Brush the top of the Stromboli with the prepared garlic butter glaze, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the Stromboli is golden brown and cooked through.
- 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.
- Serve:
- Slice the Pizza-Stuffed Stromboli into portions and serve. You can enjoy it as a meal or a delicious snack.
