Easy Stromboli

Good evening blogging world!  I am so excited!  I finally remembered to snap a few pictures and blog a recipe!  We just ate this one for dinner tonight and it was a winner all the way around.  Super easy and approved and loved by every member of my family.  I know I will be making this on many more busy evenings!  My only regret is that I did not make enough for leftovers for my lunch tomorrow!  

Give it a try and enjoy!


Easy Stromboli

1 can Pillsbury Pizza Dough Crust (13.2 Oz)
6 slices Genoa Salami (can Add More)
2 pinches Kosher Salt (plus More For The Top)
A Good Sprinkling Of Garlic Powder
A Few Pinches Of Dried Oregano, Crushed Between Your Fingers (plus More For The Top)
A Couple Pinches Of Red Pepper Flakes
A Liberal Sprinkling Of Freshly Grated Parmesan (plus More For The Top)
6 pieces Provolone Cheese (can Add More), torn into pieces
Several Slices Of Pepperoni
Pizza Sauce For Dipping


Preheat oven to 350F.

Unroll the bread dough and place on a baking pan that has been coated with nonstick cooking spray. When unrolled, the dough should form a rectangle. Lay the dough so that the long edge is closest to you. Make sure the dough is not overstretched in some spots, or the filling will burst out in those areas.

Place 6 to 8 slices of Genoa Salami on the dough, leaving a 1/2″ border around the edges. Sprinkle on a little kosher salt, some garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Add the parmesan and provolone cheeses. It’s easier to roll the dough when you break the provolone in half (or even smaller) when adding it to the top of the dough. Finally, add as much (or as little) pepperoni as you want on the top of the provolone, making sure to leave a 1/2″ border around the rectangle of dough.

Starting from the edge closest to you, roll the dough like a jelly-roll (or cinnamon-roll style). As you roll the dough, make sure to keep all of the ingredients tucked inside and pinch the ends as you roll to keep the filling from slipping out as you roll. Carefully pinch the seam shut (and the ends) and place on the sheet pan seam-side down.

Lightly sprinkle the top of the dough with kosher salt, dried oregano, and grated parmesan.

Bake for 25 minutes or until the crust is a deep brown. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into 1″ slices. Serve with some warm pizza sauce for dipping.

  1. This stromboli recipe looks delicious. I've never thought of making hot sandwiches for dinner before. I like the idea of it being served with pizza sauce too. Salami is kind of high in salt and fat, so I think I may substitute with ham or turkey. What do you think?

  2. I think this would be delicious with a variety of meats and cheeses! You could also add some veggies in there too!
