Learn how to make an authentic Italian stromboli recipe! Homemade pizza dough is filled with a rich tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and your favorite toppings and baked until golden brown.
Preheat the oven to 425˚ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle that is approximately 13” x 18” and about one half inch thick.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a one inch border and then layer the salami, pepperon, soppressata and mortadella over the sauce.
Lastly, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sliced meats.
Starting on the long side of the rectangle, roll up the dough so the sauce, meat and cheese are on the inside. Pinch the ends of the dough together and tuck them up to seal the roll.
Place the stromboli, seam side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg using a pastry brush.
Use a sharp knife to cut 4 slits diagonally on the top of the dough and then sprinkle the stromboli with some Italian seasoning.
Bake the stromboli in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Let the stromboli rest for 10-15 minutes and then slice into 12 total pieces and serve.
