Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: If you’re using homemade dough, roll it out on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. If using store-bought, follow the package instructions to prepare it.
- Add the Fillings: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Layer your cheese first, followed by your choice of meats and vegetables. Sprinkle herbs and spices evenly over the top.
- Roll It Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough away from you, tucking in the sides as you go to create a tight log shape. Make sure the seam is on the bottom to prevent it from unrolling during baking.
- Seal the Edges: Pinch the ends to seal them and fold them under slightly. This step is crucial to keep the fillings inside while baking.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the Stromboli seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle some Italian seasoning and garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the Stromboli for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. You can check for doneness by tapping on the bottom; it should sound hollow.
- Cool and Slice: Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps the cheese set a bit, making it easier to cut.
