Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • dough hook
  • Rolling Pin
  • baking sheets

Ingredients
  

Homemade Dough for 2

  • 1 ⅓ cups warm water (between 100-110°F, 38-43°C)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant or active-dry yeast (1 standard packet)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled), plus more for hands and work surface

Fillings for 2

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (or ½ teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 pound thinly sliced meats such as Italian cold cuts, deli ham, or large pepperoni slices
  • ¾–1 pound cheese (about 3 cups shredded or about 16–20 slices deli cheese)

Egg Wash & Topping for 2

  • 1 large egg egg wash beaten with 1 Tablespoon water
  • fresh or dried parsley optional
  • flaky sea salt optional
  • grated Parmesan optional

Instructions
 

Making the Dough

  • Whisk the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar together in a bowl. Cover and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Add the olive oil, salt, and flour. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes.
  • Knead the dough either in the mixer or by hand for 5 minutes until soft and slightly tacky.
  • Lightly grease a large bowl and place the dough in it, turning to coat. Cover and allow to rise for 60–90 minutes.

Preparing the Stromboli

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Punch down the risen dough and divide in half, rolling each into a 10×16-inch rectangle.
  • Mix melted butter and garlic, spreading it evenly over the dough, and layering meats and cheese.
  • Brush edges with egg wash, roll each into a tight log, and put on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown, allowing to cool before slicing.
  • Serve plain or with warm pizza/marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Leftover stromboli can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
