A savory stromboli filled with ham, broccoli, mushrooms, cheese, and garlic, baked to golden perfection. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or a crowd-pleasing appetizer.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Flatten out the pizza dough on a 12 x 15-inch rectangular baking stone or pan. Brush with Dijon mustard to taste.
- Lay down half of the sliced deli ham on the dough.
- Combine chopped mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, chopped onion, and chopped broccoli; spread this mixture evenly over the ham slices.
- Use a garlic press to press 2 cloves of garlic over the mixture.
- Layer the remaining ham slices on top of the vegetable and cheese mixture.
- Bring the sides of the dough together and seal the ends to enclose the filling.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider sautéing the mushrooms and onion in olive oil before adding them to the filling. If you're short on time, pre-cooked frozen broccoli can be substituted for fresh. You can also experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a spicier kick. Serve with a side of marinara for dipping, reminiscent of Italian recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the Stromboli into thick pieces for serving and pair it with a fresh salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. It also goes well with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. This dish is perfect for lunch or dinner and can easily be made ahead of time, just like the Stuffed Beef Rolls.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Stromboli can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy. This helps maintain the texture of the dough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the Stromboli ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the Stromboli up to the baking step, then cover and refrigerate it for up to a day. Just remember to let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before baking to ensure even cooking.
What can I substitute for ham in this recipe?
If you prefer not to use ham, turkey or chicken deli meat works well as a substitute. For a vegetarian option, consider adding more vegetables or using a meat alternative like tempeh or seitan to maintain the heartiness of the dish.
Can I freeze leftover Stromboli?
Absolutely! Wrap the cooled Stromboli tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before placing it in the freezer. It can be stored for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and then bake as directed.
