Irresistible Cheese and Pepperoni Stromboli Delight Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup sliced pepperoni
• 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 serving Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape, about ¼ inch thick.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, sliced pepperoni, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir until the ingredients are evenly mixed.
4. Spread the cheese and pepperoni filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving about an inch of space around the edges.
5. Starting from one long edge of the rectangle, carefully roll the dough over the filling to form a tight log. Pinch the ends to seal and tuck them under to prevent the filling from spilling out.
6. Place the rolled Stromboli seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the top with the beaten egg to give it a golden color when baked. Make a few slashes on top to allow steam to escape.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the Stromboli is golden brown and cooked through.
8. Let the Stromboli cool for about 5 minutes before slicing it into thick pieces.
9. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
