Ingredients:
1 tube of Pillsbury pizza crust
8 slices of deli ham
10 slices of Genoa salami
12 slices of sandwich pepperoni
8 slices provolone cheese or mozzarella (shredded cheese can also be used)
2 tablespoons of butter
2 minced garlic cloves
2 teaspoons chopped parsley
3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Prepare the Garlic Butter:
Melt the butter in the microwave.
Mix in the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
Prepare the Pizza Crust:
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stretch the pizza crust out to almost the size of your baking sheet.
Assemble the Stromboli:
Layer the deli meats on the pizza crust: start with the ham, then the salami, and finish with the pepperoni.
Layer the cheese on top of the meats.
Roll and Seal:
Roll the Stromboli lengthwise, making sure to seal the seam well.
Seal the ends by pinching them and molding the excess dough to the underside of the Stromboli.
Score the top a few times with a serrated knife to allow steam to escape while baking.
Add Garlic Butter:
Brush the top of the Stromboli with the garlic butter mixture.
Bake:
Bake the Stromboli according to the instructions on the pizza dough package. Typically, it will bake for the same amount of time as if you were making a regular pizza, without the need for par-baking.
Serve:
Slice and enjoy! Although traditional Stromboli often includes red sauce inside, this recipe suggests dipping it in red sauce if preferred.
