Tips & Substitutions
For a golden, crispy crust, brush the rolled Stromboli with olive oil or melted butter before baking. Consider swapping meats or cheeses based on your preferences—turkey or roast beef can be delicious alternatives. If you want to add some vegetables, sautéed peppers or onions work great. For an Italian twist, pair it with Italian Beans on the side.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the Stromboli into thick rounds and serve it warm with marinara sauce for dipping. A side salad or some roasted vegetables make great accompaniments. This dish is perfect for parties or game day gatherings, and pairs beautifully with Apostle's Favorite Minestrone Soup for a hearty meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual slices for about 30 seconds; just be careful not to overheat them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Stromboli in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the Stromboli ahead of time. After rolling it up, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. When ready to bake, just remove the wrap and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before placing it in the oven.
What type of bread dough works best for Stromboli?
Frozen bread dough is ideal for Stromboli, as it allows for easy handling and a great texture. You can also use homemade dough if you prefer, ensuring it's well-kneaded for elasticity. Don't forget to let it rise properly for the best results.
Can I freeze Stromboli?
Absolutely! You can freeze an unbaked Stromboli. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to bake, thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then let it rise at room temperature before baking as directed.
