Homemade Stromboli | Sally's Baking

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat content while maintaining flavor.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork can be more economical.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

pepperoni

🥗Healthier: turkey pepperoni

💰Cheaper: salami

Turkey pepperoni has less fat, while salami is often less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté diced onion and bell pepper until soft, about 5 minutes.

Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 6-8 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper; cook for another minute.

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Spread the meat mixture evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a border around the edges.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese over the meat mixture.

Layer pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.

Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough over the filling to create a log shape, sealing the edges tightly.

Place the stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the top with beaten egg and make a few slits in the top for steam to escape.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
