Description
Stromboli Delight is a savory roll filled with cheese, pepperoni, and bell peppers, perfect for a delicious meal or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (plus extra for dipping)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Layer the mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, bell peppers, and Parmesan cheese on top of the sauce. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the edges to seal and tuck the ends under.
- Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and cooked through. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to the filling.
- You can also substitute the pepperoni with cooked sausage or vegetables for a vegetarian option.
