A delightful twist on the classic Stromboli, packed with flavor and easy to prepare.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 9x12 inches.
Ensure the dough is evenly rolled to avoid uneven cooking.
Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Leaving a border helps seal the Stromboli properly.
Layer the ham, pepperoni, and roasted red bell pepper over the cheese.
Distribute the ingredients evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from one of the longer sides, and pinch the edges to seal.
Roll tightly to ensure the fillings stay inside during baking.
Place the Stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Check the Stromboli halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
Let the Stromboli cool for a few minutes before slicing and serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
Cooling slightly helps the Stromboli hold its shape when sliced.
