Cheesy Pepperoni Stromboli Bake Recipes & Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup – 1 cup sliced pepperoni
• 1/2 cup pizza/marinara sauce (plus more for dipping)
• 1 egg (for wash) + 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning + 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions for the Perfect Bake

1. Prep: Preheat oven to $$ ($$) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll: Roll the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface.
3. Fill: Spread sauce, leaving 1-inch edges. Add cheese, pepperoni, parmesan, and seasoning.
4. Roll & Seal: Roll tightly into a log and pinch seams tightly to seal.
5. Finish & Bake: Place seam-side down, brush with egg wash/olive oil, and cut small slits on top for steam. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
6. Serve: Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. 

Tips for Success

• Avoid Sogginess: Do not overfill the dough, and ensure the mozzarella is not too wet.
• Extra Flavor: Brush the outside with garlic butter (melted butter, garlic powder, parsley) after baking.
• Variations: Add sausages, peppers, or onions for a more packed filling.
