Thank you for reading this post, don’t forget to subscribe!🌟 What is Stromboli?
Stromboli is an Italian-American creation originating from Philadelphia (just like cheesesteak!). Think of it as a rolled-up pizza cousin: dough stuffed with meats, cheeses, and veggies, baked until golden, and sliced into spirals of joy. Unlike calzones, which are folded, Stromboli is rolled, creating layers of flavor.
📝 Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves 4–6)
For the Dough
- 1 lb store-bought pizza dough (or homemade dough)
- Flour for dusting
For the Filling
- 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak (thinly sliced)
- 1 large onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)

For Assembly

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Filling
- Sauté Veggies: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet. Add onions, bell peppers, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until caramelized (8–10 mins). Set aside.

2. Roll Out the Dough
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a floured surface, stretch dough into a 12×16-inch rectangle.
3. Layer the Goodness
- Cheese First: Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Add Steak & Veggies: Spread steak and veggie mix evenly.
4. Roll It Up
- Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the edges to seal.
5. Bake to Perfection
- Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Egg Wash: Whisk egg + water; brush over dough.
- Cut 3–4 slits on top for steam to escape.
- Bake 20–25 mins until golden brown.
6. Rest & Slice
- Let cool 5–10 mins before slicing. Serve with warm marinara!
