Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 0.5 lb Italian sausage
- 0.5 cup pepperoni slices
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup banana peppers, chopped
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it into crumbles as it cooks. Remove from skillet and drain any excess grease. Set it aside to cool slightly.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, approximately 10x14 inches.
Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Evenly spread the cooked sausage, pepperoni slices, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, banana peppers, crushed red pepper flakes, and minced garlic over the dough, keeping the edges clean.
Gently roll the dough from one long side to the other, tucking in the filling as you roll. Pinch the seam and the ends to seal the stromboli.
Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with the beaten egg to give it a golden crust.
Using a sharp knife, make 3-4 small slits on top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape as it bakes.
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 5-10 minutes before slicing into thick pieces.
Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
