Ingredients
  

  • 2¼ teaspoons Active Dry Yeast - 1 packet
  • 1 cup Warm Water (110-115°F) - For activating yeast
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or Sugar - Helps activate yeast
  • 2½ cups All-Purpose Flour - Plus extra for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil - Plus extra for brushing
  • 4 oz Pepperoni (thinly sliced)
  • 4 oz Genoa Salami
  • 4 oz Ham (Black Forest)
  • 8 oz Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
  • ¼ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 Egg - For egg wash
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder (optional)

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl (Used for mixing dough ingredients.)
  • Rolling pin (For rolling out the dough into a rectangle.)
  • Baking sheet (A standard half-sheet pan works perfectly for baking the stromboli.)
  • Parchment paper (Prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.)
  • Pastry brush (For applying egg wash to the dough.)
  • Sharp Knife/Pizza Cutter (To slice the baked stromboli into portions.)
  • Small bowls (For organizing ingredients and egg wash.)

Method
 

  1. Combine yeast, warm water, and honey in a small bowl. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
  3. Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 16x12-inch rectangle on a floured surface.
  7. Layer meats and cheeses evenly over the dough. Roll tightly and seal the edges.
  8. Brush the stromboli with beaten egg and cut slits on top to release steam.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
