Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • baking sheets
  • parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

Homemade Dough for 2

  • 1 and ⅓ cups warm water between 100-110°F, 38-43°C
  • 2 and ¼ teaspoons instant or active-dry yeast (1 standard packet)
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 and ½ cups all-purpose flour [spooned & leveled]

Fillings for 2

  • 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (or ½ teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 pound thinly sliced meats such as Italian cold cuts, deli ham, or large pepperoni slices
  • ¾–1 pound cheese (about 3 cups shredded or about 16–20 slices deli cheese)

Egg Wash & Topping for 2

  • 1 large egg egg wash beaten with 1 Tablespoon water
  • optional toppings fresh or dried parsley, flaky sea salt, and/or grated Parmesan

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Whisk the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or paddle attachment. Cover and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Add the olive oil, salt, and flour. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes.
  • Knead the dough for 5 full minutes until it is soft and slightly tacky.
  • Lightly grease a large bowl with oil and place the dough in it, turning to coat all sides. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and allow to rise at room temperature for 60–90 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Punch the risen dough down, divide it in half, and roll each half into a 10×16-inch rectangle.
  • Mix the melted butter and garlic, then spread garlic butter evenly over each rectangle. Layer meats and cheeses while leaving borders.
  • Brush edges with egg wash, roll each into a tight log, and tuck ends in to seal.
  • Transfer each stromboli to the prepared baking sheet and brush tops with egg wash.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve plain or with warm pizza/marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Cover and store leftover stromboli (slices or whole) in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
