Instructions

Roll out one loaf of bread dough to a rectangle that is 1/4 inch thick.

Spread pizza sauce on the entire rectangle, leaving a 1 inch border all the way around.

Place half of the salami in single layer, covering the pizza sauce.

Repeat with half of the American cheese, ham, pepperoni and mozzarella cheese.

Bring the long sides together over the center, and pinch together to seal.

Turn over, so that the seam is on the bottom, and place on an ungreased baking sheet.

Repeat all of the steps above with second loaf of bread dough.

Brush the top of each stromboli with olive oil and sprinkle Italian seasoning over the top.

With a sharp knife, cut 3 diagonal slices in each stromboli to allow the steam to escape.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly before slicing.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Layer Strategically for Even Distribution 🧅
Create thin, even layers of meats and cheeses rather than piling them all in the center—this ensures every bite has balanced flavors and prevents cheese from leaking out during baking.
Seal the Edges Properly 🔐
Pinch and roll the dough edges tightly, then brush with olive oil and egg wash to create a golden seal that locks in moisture and prevents the filling from escaping during cooking.
Score Before Baking 🔪
Make shallow diagonal cuts across the top of the stromboli before baking—this allows steam to escape evenly, prevents bursting, and creates an attractive presentation with a crispier crust.
Use Room Temperature Dough 🌡️
Let your pizza dough sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before stretching and filling it, making it easier to work with and resulting in a lighter, airier final texture.
Rest Before Slicing ⏱️
Allow the baked stromboli to rest for 5 minutes before cutting—this lets the cheese set slightly and prevents the filling from spilling out, making for cleaner, more professional-looking slices.
