Ingredients:
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1/2 cup cooked Italian sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1/2 cup onions, sliced
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to form a rectangle, roughly 10×14 inches. The dough should be thin but not too thin that it tears when rolled.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges to help seal the stromboli later.
- Layer the mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, crumbled Italian sausage, sliced bell peppers, and sliced onions over the pizza sauce. Be careful not to overfill to make rolling easier.
- Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough, similar to a jelly roll, tucking in the ingredients as you go. Pinch the edges and seams to seal the roll completely.
- Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with the beaten egg to give it a golden, glossy finish as it bakes.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the stromboli for added flavor and texture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Let the stromboli cool slightly before slicing it into pieces. Serve warm, either on its own or with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
