Pizza-Stuffed Stromboli

Ingredients:

For the Stromboli:

1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

6 slices of your favorite cheese (e.g., mozzarella, provolone)

6 slices of ham

12 slices of pepperoni

12 slices of salami

1/2 cup pasta sauce

1/2 cup diced peppers (bell peppers or any color you prefer)

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Garlic Butter Glaze:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or use dried parsley)

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (adjust to taste)

Directions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

Prepare the Garlic Butter Glaze:

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.

Add minced garlic, chopped parsley, and Italian seasoning to the melted butter.

Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Set aside.

Prepare the Dough:

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangular shape. It should be approximately 12×16 inches or as large as you prefer.

Layer the Ingredients:

Place the slices of cheese in the center of the dough, leaving a border along the edges.

Layer the ham, pepperoni, salami, diced peppers, and pasta sauce on top of the cheese.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Fold and Seal:

Carefully fold the sides of the dough over the filling to encase it.

Tuck in the ends to create a sealed rectangular shape.

Place the Stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush with Garlic Butter:

Brush the top of the Stromboli with the prepared garlic butter glaze, ensuring it’s evenly coated.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the Stromboli is golden brown and cooked through.

Rest and Slice:

Allow the Stromboli to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling set and makes it easier to cut.

Serve:

Slice the Pizza-Stuffed Stromboli into portions and serve. You can enjoy it as a meal or a delicious snack.
