- Spread pizza sauce on the dough, leaving a 2-inch margin on the long sides and a 1/2-inch margin on the short sides.
- Top the sauce with sliced ham, shredded mozzarella, green or red peppers, and Italian seasonings.
- Fold the long sides of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal.
- Pinch the short sides to seal the ends.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier crust, brush the top with olive oil before baking. You can substitute the ham with turkey or salami for a different flavor. If you want more vegetables, consider adding mushrooms or spinach. For a unique twist, try adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or crushed red pepper flakes for added heat. Serve with a side of Italian sauce with meat balls for dipping.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the stromboli into thick pieces and serve warm with a side of pizza sauce for dipping. This dish pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. You can also serve it alongside pasta and olive cocktails for an Italian-themed dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the stromboli in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the crust soggy.
