Ingredients
  

1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup sliced pepperoni

½ cup ricotta cheese

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape, about ¼ inch thick.

      Mix the Filling: 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.

        Assemble the Stromboli: Spread the cheese and pepperoni filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving about an inch of space around the edges.

          Roll the Dough: 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.

            Prepare for Baking: 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.

              Bake the Stromboli: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the Stromboli is golden brown and cooked through.

                Cool and Slice: Let the Stromboli cool for about 5 minutes before slicing it into thick pieces.

                  Serve: Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

                      - Presentation Tips: Arrange the Stromboli slices on a large platter, garnished with fresh basil leaves and a small bowl of marinara sauce for dipping. A sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese over the top adds a nice touch!
