Making deluxe stromboli at home is a rewarding culinary experience that combines the rich flavors of Italian cuisine with the comfort of homemade pizza. This versatile dish is a stuffed, rolled-up pizza filled with various meats, cheeses, and tomato sauce. Then, it baked to golden perfection. With its crispy exterior and savory filling, deluxe stromboli is perfect for family dinners, casual gatherings, or as a satisfying lunch option. This is a great snack or appetizer recipe that I love to make for my guests and gather around the table, chatting different topics and enjoying life.
To start, you’ll need to prepare your dough. You can use store-bought pizza dough for convenience or make your own from scratch for a more authentic touch. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle. The beauty of stromboli is that you can customize the filling to your liking. For a deluxe version, consider mixing ingredients like pepperoni, salami, ham, and any other sliced meat for a hearty and meaty combination. Add layers of mozzarella cheese, provolone, and a sprinkle of Parmesan for a rich, gooey filling.
Next, spread your desired toppings over the dough, leaving a border around the edges. Add a layer of thinly sliced bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and olives for freshness and crunch. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning or a dash of garlic powder for extra flavor. Carefully roll the dough from one end to the other, ensuring the filling stays inside and the seam is sealed well.
Transfer the rolled stromboli to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the stromboli cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping, and enjoy the deliciously crispy, cheesy goodness of your homemade deluxe stromboli. It’s a satisfying, customizable dish that’s sure to impress.
