Instructions
Making Tremendous Cheesy Pepperoni Stromboli is straightforward when you follow these easy-to-follow instructions:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Layer Ingredients: Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges. Next, add sliced pepperoni and finish with grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
4. Roll the Dough: Carefully start rolling the dough from one end to the other, tucking in the sides as you go. This will create a tight roll.
5. Seal the Edges: Pinch the seams and ends of the rolled dough to seal them tightly.
6. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the rolled Stromboli to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with olive oil.
7. Create Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush this mixture over the top of the Stromboli for a golden finish.
8. Make Slits: Use a sharp knife to cut a few small slits on top of the Stromboli to allow steam to escape.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
10. Serve Warm: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
