Cheesy Pepperoni Stromboli – A Savory, Cheesy Delight!

Ingredients:

1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

1 cup pepperoni slices

1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional for spice)

Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Prepare the Dough:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape (about 10x14 inches).

Add the Fillings:

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the dough.

Layer the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, leaving a small border around the edges.

Season:

Sprinkle garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the filling for extra flavor.

Roll the Stromboli:

Carefully roll the dough from one long side to the other, like a jelly roll, pinching the edges to seal it.

Place the stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake:

Brush the top of the stromboli with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt over it.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling inside.

Slice and Serve:

Let the stromboli cool for a few minutes, then slice into thick pieces.

Serve with marinara sauce for dipping!

Pro Tip: Add some veggies like bell peppers or onions to the filling for a twist on the classic!
