Italian Stromboli (Giant Pizza Roll) Recipe Guide

Print Recipe

A delicious and savory Italian Stromboli, essentially a giant pizza roll stuffed with mozzarella, pepperoni, fresh vegetables, and zesty Italian spices, baked until golden brown.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 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)
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • Olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease with cooking spray.
  2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12x16 inch rectangle.
  3. Spread marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Layer mozzarella, pepperoni, bell peppers, and mushrooms over the sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
  5. Carefully roll the dough tightly starting from the long side, pinching the seams and ends to seal.
  6. Place the roll seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and drizzle with olive oil.
  7. Cut several slits on top to vent steam.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with extra marinara.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough is rolled to an even thickness to prevent undercooked spots.
  • Do not overfill with sauce to avoid a soggy interior.
  • You can customize the fillings with ham, salami, or spinach.
