🛒 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:
1️⃣ 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 10×14 inches). 🍞
2️⃣ 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. 🍕🧀
3️⃣ Season:
Sprinkle garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the filling for extra flavor. 🌶️🌿
4️⃣ 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. 🥖
5️⃣ 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.
6️⃣ 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! 🌶️🧅
