Italian Stromboli Recipe
Enjoy this delicious Italian Stromboli recipe, perfect for a flavorful meal or snack!
Ingredients:
- 1 tube Pillsbury pizza crust
- 8 slices deli ham
- 10 slices Genoa salami
- 12 slices sandwich pepperoni
- 8 slices provolone cheese or mozzarella (shredded cheese can be used)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons chopped parsley
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the pizza crust tube. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in minced garlic, chopped parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
- Unroll the pizza crust onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and stretch it out to nearly the size of the sheet.
- Layer the deli meats evenly over the stretched dough: start with a layer of ham, followed by salami, then pepperoni.
- Arrange cheese slices (or shredded cheese) over the meats.
- Carefully roll the Stromboli from one long end to the other, ensuring it is tightly sealed along the seam and ends. Pinch and tuck any excess dough underneath.
- Using a serrated knife, make a few diagonal slashes on the top of the Stromboli to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Brush the top of the Stromboli with the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Bake the Stromboli in the preheated oven for the time specified on the pizza crust tube, following the guidelines for a regular pizza. Do not par-bake as directed on the tube.
- Once baked to a golden brown and crispy exterior, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
- Serve warm, optionally with red sauce for dipping on the side.
Note: While traditional Stromboli includes red sauce inside, this recipe omits it for dipping purposes.
