Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 4 links Italian sausages
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup marinara sauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the pizza dough out into a large rectangle, about 12x18 inches.
Remove the casings from the Italian sausages and cook them in a skillet over medium heat, breaking them into small crumbles using a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Set aside.
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the marinara sauce.
Spread the cooked sausage crumbles evenly on top of the cheese layers.
Sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes over the sausage for added flavor.
Starting with one of the longer edges, carefully roll the dough into a tight spiral, similar to a jelly roll. Pinch the seam and ends to seal the Stromboli tightly.
Transfer the Stromboli to a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down.
Brush the entire surface with the egg wash and make a few shallow slits across the top to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Stromboli is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm. Optionally, serve with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
