Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. my overnight pizza dough or your favorite store – bought
  • 2 cups my easy marinara sauce or your favorite store-bought
  • 6 slices of prosciutto
  • 10 slices Italian salami
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped Italian parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400-degrees . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Stretch the pizza dough to a 12 inch even thickness diameter (about 1/3 inch thickness )
  • Start half of the marinara sauce on the dough, leaving a border around the edges bare.
  • Begin to layer the meat starting with the prosciutto then the salami
  • Add the cheeses on top of the meats . Sprinkle with the Italian parsley
  • Roll the crust tightly, sealing the seam and pinching the ends together.
  • Score the top of the stromboli to allow the steam to escape during cooking. Brush with extra virgin olive oil sprinkle with grated parmesan
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Notes

Don’t overfill the stromboli. A moderate layer of meat and cheese makes it easier to roll tightly and helps prevent the filling from spilling out while baking. Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing so the cheese has time to set.
