Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pizza dough
- 3 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 1.5 cups Pepperoni slices
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1.5 cups Marinara sauce
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Red onion, diced
- 0.5 cups Black olives, sliced
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cups Flour (for rolling dough)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Drain excess fat and set it aside to cool slightly.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out one pound of pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 12x18 inches. Repeat with the second pound of dough. Place the second rolled-out dough on a separate floured surface or parchment paper.
Spread 3/4 cup of marinara sauce evenly over one of the dough rectangles, leaving a 1-inch border all around the edges.
Sprinkle 1.5 cups of mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Top with half of the cooked sausage, pepperoni slices, diced bell pepper, red onion, and black olives.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and a pinch of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes over the filling for added flavor.
Carefully place the second rectangle of dough over the filled dough, matching up the edges. Pinch the edges together firmly to seal, or fold and roll the edges for a decorative border.
Transfer the stuffed dough to the prepared baking sheet. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash, and brush it evenly over the surface of the stromboli.
Use a sharp knife to cut 5–6 small slits on top of the dough to allow steam to escape while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and puffed up.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing into large portions.
Serve with the remaining marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
