In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir lightly and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture along with the olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle approximately 12x16 inches.
Sprinkle the dairy-free cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Layer the pepperoni and salami slices over the cheese, then distribute the sliced bell peppers on top.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and garlic powder evenly over the filling ingredients.
Starting with one long side, gently roll the dough into a log, being careful to keep the fillings inside.
Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
If using, brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish. Alternatively, you may brush with melted dairy-free butter for a softer crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the stromboli to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
