Stromboli Recipes

Easy Pizza Stromboli

Turn pizza dough and favorite toppings into an easy rolled stromboli. Assemble it directly on a pizza pan or baking sheet so you don't have to move the filled dough before baking.

Ingredients

• Homemade pizza dough, bread dough or store-bought dough
• Favorite pizza fillings
• 1 egg white
• Pinch of Italian seasoning
• Pinch of garlic salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
2. Roll the dough into a rectangle on a pizza pan or baking sheet.
3. Spread your chosen fillings over the dough. Don't add too much filling or the stromboli will be difficult to roll and seal.
4. Starting at one long edge, roll the dough up jelly-roll style.
5. In a small bowl, beat the egg white with a pinch of Italian seasoning and garlic salt.
6. Brush the seasoned egg-white mixture over the top of the stromboli.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
8. Let the stromboli cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Ham and Cheese Stromboli

Ham and cheese make one of the easiest stromboli fillings. Layer sliced ham and shredded cheese over the dough, roll it up and bake until golden. Serve warm with sauce for dipping.

Ingredients

• Pizza dough, bread dough or store-bought dough
• Sliced ham
• Shredded cheese
• Spaghetti or pizza sauce, for serving

Directions

1. Roll the dough into a rectangle on a pizza pan or baking sheet.
2. Arrange sliced ham over the dough, leaving a little space around the edges.
3. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the ham.
4. Starting at one long edge, roll the dough up jelly-roll style.
5. Prepare and brush with the seasoned egg-white mixture from the Easy Pizza Stromboli recipe above.
6. Bake at 425F for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Slice and serve with warm spaghetti or pizza sauce for dipping.

Pizza Twist or Pizza Braid

Turn pizza dough into a braided pizza dinner by adding sauce, cheese and pepperoni down the center, then crossing strips of dough over the filling. Kids can help add the toppings and fold the dough strips to create the braid.

Ingredients

• Pizza dough
• Pizza or spaghetti sauce
• Sliced pepperoni
• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
2. Roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle on a baking sheet or pizza pan.
3. Spread pizza or spaghetti sauce lengthwise down the center of the dough, leaving the two outer sides uncovered.
4. Arrange pepperoni over the sauce.
5. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the pepperoni.
6. Using kitchen scissors or a knife, cut strips along both outer sides of the dough, stopping before you reach the filling in the center.
7. Starting at one end, fold the strips over the filling, alternating from one side to the other to create a braided or twisted appearance.
8. Tuck or pinch the ends closed to help keep the filling inside.
9. Bake at 425F until the dough is golden brown and baked through.
10. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Chicken Broccoli Braid

This chicken broccoli braid is a savory variation on the pizza twist. Cooked chicken, broccoli and cheese are mixed with a little mayonnaise, then wrapped inside pizza dough or thawed pastry dough and baked until golden.

Ingredients

• Chopped cooked chicken
• Chopped cooked broccoli
• Shredded cheese
• 2-4 tablespoons mayonnaise, or as needed
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Lay the pizza dough or thawed pastry dough flat on a baking sheet.
3. In a bowl, combine the chopped chicken and broccoli.
4. Stir in shredded cheese and season with salt and pepper.
5. Add 2-4 tablespoons mayonnaise, or enough to make the mixture moist without becoming runny.
6. Spoon the chicken mixture lengthwise down the center of the dough.

7. Cut slits along both sides of the dough, stopping before you reach the filling.
8. Bring opposite strips of dough over the filling and twist or overlap them to form a braid.

9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and baked through.
10. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
