Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Butter Mixture

  • 1 can refrigerated pizza crust (such as Pillsbury, 13.8 oz)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Filling

  • 8 ounces deli meat (such as ham, salami, or pepperoni slices)
  • 6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Butter and Herbs: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly to create a flavorful garlic-herb butter mixture.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, evenly brush half of the garlic-herb butter mixture over the entire surface of the dough, stopping about ½ inch from the edges to prevent overflow.
  4. Layer Filling: Arrange the deli meat slices evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges to make rolling easier.
  5. Roll up the Dough: Carefully roll the dough jelly-roll style, starting from one long side. Pinch the seam tightly to seal the stromboli and tuck the ends underneath to secure the filling inside. Place the stromboli seam side down on the baking sheet.
  6. Brush with Butter: Brush the top of the stromboli with the remaining garlic-herb butter mixture to promote browning and add extra flavor.
  7. Bake and Serve: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the stromboli is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven, garnish with additional parsley if desired, and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for the best taste.

Notes

  • You can customize the filling by adding vegetables like sautéed bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Ensure the seam is tightly sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the stromboli after cooling to keep the slices intact.
  • Store any leftovers wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
