Ingredients

• 1 can pizza dough (store-bought)
• 1/4 cup garlic butter (or melted butter with minced garlic)
• 1 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
• 1/2 cup salami slices
• 1/2 cup ham slices
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Unroll the pizza dough on a floured surface. If using store-bought dough, you can gently stretch it into a rectangular shape.

Step 2: Add the Fillings

1. Brush the bottom of the dough with garlic butter to infuse it with rich, savory flavor.
2. Layer the dough with pepper jack cheese, pepperoni, salami, ham, and mozzarella cheese. Make sure to spread the ingredients evenly across the dough, leaving about 1 1/2 inches of space around the perimeter.
3. Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the layered ingredients for extra flavor.

Step 3: Roll and Seal the Stromboli

1. Carefully roll the dough, starting from one edge and rolling it tightly to the other edge, while keeping the fillings inside. Pinch and seal the edges to ensure the fillings stay in place.
2. Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 4: Brush and Bake

1. Brush the top of the stromboli with the beaten egg to give it a golden, glossy finish.
2. Using a sharp knife, cut several slits on top of the dough to allow steam to escape and to create a nice presentation.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Allow the stromboli to cool for a few minutes before slicing into generous pieces.
2. Serve warm, with marinara sauce on the side for dipping if desired.

Tips and Variations

• Custom Fillings: Feel free to customize your stromboli with your favorite ingredients, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, or olives.
• Dipping Sauce: Marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or garlic dipping sauce pairs perfectly with stromboli.
• Make Ahead: You can assemble the stromboli ahead of time and freeze it before baking. Thaw and bake as directed when ready to serve.
