Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup sliced black olives
- ¼ cup diced green bell peppers
- ½ cup sliced pepperoni or turkey pepperoni
- 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12×16 inches and ¼ inch thick.
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about an inch clear along the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the sliced black olives, diced green bell peppers, and pepperoni.
- Begin rolling the dough tightly from one end to the other, pinching the edges and seams to seal them tightly.
- Brush the top of the Stromboli with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Place the Stromboli on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Allow the Stromboli to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into thick pieces.
Notes
Feel free to customize your Stromboli with different fillings. For a vegetarian option, use roasted vegetables, or for a heartier version, add Italian sausage or ham. You can also prepare it ahead of time and refrigerate before baking!
