Ingredients
Scale
Meats:
- 8 slices deli ham
- 10 slices Genoa salami
- 12 slices sandwich pepperoni
Cheese and Base:
- 1 tube Pillsbury pizza crust
- 8 slices provolone cheese or mozzarella (shredded cheese can also be used)
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Seasoning and Topping:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare a garlic-infused butter by melting butter and stirring in minced garlic, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese. Set the aromatic mixture aside for later use.
- Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the pizza crust package. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and gently stretch the pizza crust to nearly cover the entire surface.
- Create layers of deli meats starting with ham, followed by salami, and then pepperoni. Top these savory layers with a generous coating of cheese.
- Carefully roll the Stromboli lengthwise, ensuring the seam is tightly sealed. Pinch and fold the ends, pressing excess dough underneath to create a smooth, sealed exterior.
- Using a serrated knife, make several diagonal cuts across the top of the rolled Stromboli to allow steam to escape during baking. Generously brush the entire surface with the prepared garlic butter mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven according to the pizza dough package instructions, typically around 12-15 minutes, until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese melts completely.
- Remove from the oven and let the Stromboli rest for a few minutes to cool slightly. Slice diagonally and serve with marinara sauce for dipping, creating a delicious and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Customize Meats Swap deli meats with vegetarian alternatives like grilled portobello mushrooms or plant-based proteins for dietary restrictions.
- Cheese Options Experiment with different cheese varieties like smoked gouda, sharp cheddar, or dairy-free alternatives to create unique flavor profiles.
- Crispy Exterior Brush extra olive oil on the outside before baking to achieve a golden, crackly crust that adds texture and rich flavor.
- Make-Ahead Strategy Prepare the Stromboli in advance and refrigerate, wrapped tightly, then bake just before serving for convenient meal planning.
