I really enjoy cooking Stromboli. I feel like this is one of those recipes that is time consuming the first try, but after that, it's one that is incredibly easy and equally delicious.
Ingredients:
1 canned pizza crust (or you can use the quick mix kind, or you can make your own)
~8 slices of provolone cheese
~8 slices of ham
sliced pepperoni
Optional: grilled veggies (onions, mushrooms, peppers, zucchini, etc - whichever you prefer)
Optional: additional grilled meat like beef or chicken
Arrange your pizza crust on a greased baking sheet; press the corners out and flatten the dough so you will have enough to fold over and create a roll once the fillers are added. Arrange 1/2 the ham, provolone & pepperoni in the center of the dough, leaving 1/3 free to the left and right. Top with optional veggies & grilled meat. Finish layering the remaining ham, pepperoni and cheese on top of the veggies. Fold both sides of the dough over the center to create your Stromboli log. (you can brush the roll with oil before baking, but I never do)
Bake at 375 until the crust is golden brown and crispy - usually about 15 minutes for me, but cooking time will vary. Slice and serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
Note: I do not like to roll the dough so that there is breading in the center of the stromboli log - that middle portion never cooks quite right for me, leaving the exterior either burnt, or the interior a soggy mess of uncooked dough. Limit the breading to the exterior of your filling to avoid any inconsistencies in the baking.
