Ingredients
- Dough: Pizza dough is typically used, offering a soft yet firm base that crisps beautifully in the oven.
- Cheese: Mozzarella is a staple for its melting quality, often paired with provolone or Parmesan for added depth.
- Meats: Italian cold cuts like salami, pepperoni, and prosciutto deliver a robust flavor.
- Vegetables: Options like roasted red peppers, spinach, and olives add vibrancy and texture.
- Seasonings: Italian herbs like basil, oregano, and parsley, often combined with garlic powder or red pepper flakes, infuse the dough and fillings with aromatic richness.
Instructions
- Prevent Sogginess: Pat your vegetables dry and avoid overloading the fillings.
- Achieve a Crispy Crust: Use a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet for even heat distribution.
- Customize the Dough: Infuse flavor into the dough by kneading in garlic powder or Italian herbs.
- Slice Neatly: Allow the Stromboli to cool slightly before slicing to avoid a messy cut.
