With just 20 minutes of prep time and easy baking, this stromboli is a fun and satisfying way to enjoy classic pizza flavors in an innovative, handheld form.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches.
Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
Lay the pepperoni slices over the cheese in a single layer, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning over the pepperoni and cheese.
Starting with one of the longer edges of the dough rectangle, carefully roll it up tightly into a log shape, tucking in the ends as you roll to seal the filling inside.
Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it evenly over the top of the stromboli to create a golden crust.
Lightly drizzle or brush the top with olive oil for added richness.
Using a sharp knife, make 4β5 shallow diagonal slits across the top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape while baking.
Bake the stromboli in the preheated oven for 25β30 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and allow the stromboli to cool on the baking sheet for 5β10 minutes before slicing.
Slice into 1-inch pieces and serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
