Ingredients
- •1 lb pizza dough (room temperature)
- •1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- •6 oz sliced ham
- •1 none egg (beaten)
- •1 tbsp olive oil
- •1 tsp dried oregano
- •1 tsp garlic powder
- •0.25 tsp salt
- •0.25 tsp black pepper
- •1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- 2
Lightly flour your work surface. Place the pizza dough in the center and let it rest for about ten minutes.
- 3
Roll the dough into a rectangle about 10 by 14 inches. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil.
- 4
Arrange the sliced ham evenly over the dough, leaving about one inch of space on all edges.
- 5
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the ham. Add garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- 6
Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly like a jelly roll. Pinch the seam firmly to seal it.
- 7
Fold the short ends underneath to keep the cheese from escaping. Place the stromboli seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- 8
Using a pastry brush, coat the top of the stromboli with beaten egg. Make a few shallow diagonal cuts across the top.
- 9
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the surface is golden brown and firm. Rotate the pan halfway through baking.
- 10
Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack for ten minutes before slicing.
- 11
Slice the stromboli into thick pieces and serve warm, plain or with marinara sauce.
